Abstract: The socio-economic potential is an important indicator that systematically characterizes a specific territory with its economic specifics, as well as the opportunities for its future development. The article presents a methodology for assessing the density of social and economic potential. The integral index of the socio-economic potential density of the territory takes into account the basic spatial characteristics (indicators): The density of the population concentrated on a given territory, the volume of fixed assets, as well as the level of economic development, defined as the accumulated volume of gross production per area of the economically developed space. On the basis of this method the estimation of the density of social and economic potential of Russian Arctic territories was carried out, a rating was obtained and a classification was made. Allocated 5 density types of socio-economic potential. metropolitan and industrial; urban and industrial; mixed, mainly West-Central; mixed, mainly Western; peripheral.
