Abstract: Regional development represents the society efforts geared towards reducing regional disparities, optimizing the development and mitigating any social problems. People play a highly significant role that triggers certain demographic development and spatial specifics of demographic indicators, in particular, and regional development, in general. Against this backdrop, this article assesses some demographic indicators in the municipality of Valašské Meziříčí. The results from the statistical analysis of spatial and temporal series show that the administrative district of the municipality of Valašské Meziříčí demonstrated (micro) regional differences and outlined the future population change. The identified adverse effects include: the declining of the population in the administrative headquarters; distinctive dynamics of aging and the low level of economic activity in certain municipalities; underdevelopment of community services; and distribution of the age structure of the disproportion between the peripheral facilities and administrative headquarters. There is an urgent need for policy decisions that could avert the unfavorable development of some demographic indicators (economic and social) in the future.
