The aim of the article was to assess housing conditions of population in rural areas in the provinces in Poland in the years 2007-2016 and to analyse changes taking place in this period and the scale of disproportions between regions. The research was dynamic and concerned the verification of the research hypothesis assuming that the level of housing conditions of the population in rural areas in Poland in the voivodship system is equalizing. In order to assess the level and changes of the studied complex phenomenon, one of the relative taxonomy methods was used, in dynamic terms, which is based on the construction of a medium-based synthetic meter. This method not only allows you to classify units in a given period but above all, it allows to observe changes in the value of a synthetic variable over time, wherein the construction of a synthetic feature is based on the relativistic values of diagnostic features. The research was based on data from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office in Poland. Only in the group of provinces where housing conditions in rural areas at the beginning of the research period (in 2004) were assessed as high compared to other provinces (relative class I) some convergence in the studied phenomenon in 2004-2016 was observed. Among 8 provinces , which in 2004 were characterized by a relatively low and average lower level of housing conditions in rural areas (relative classes II and III), we can talk about increasing the disproportions within the classes distinguished in 2004-2016. At the same time, however, the synthetic assessment of housing conditions in 5 provinces from classes II and III improved and approached the level of provinces from class I in the analyzed period and only only in 3 provinces this rating has deteriorated. The results of the research allowed only a partial confirmation of the research hypothesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
