Abstract: This paper employs and adapts statistical methods in order to discover particular and general issues among ethnic, religious and linguistic phenomena at the Romanian level. In this sense it is necessary first to determine the extent to which the three aspects are correlated at a general level. Generalized canonical analysis was used to highlight the simultaneous relations among ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity. This analysis is continued by underlying the particular aspects of the relation at the Local Administrative Units (level 2) – LAU2. In order to reflect these issues there were used the canonical ranks, the ranks correlations and the models variables as well as the differences among the diversities indexes computed for ethnic groups, religious and mother tongues.
