The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the regional efficiency of the use of land resources (on the example of the Sverdlovsk and Tyumen regions) on the basis of integral assessment indicators by land categories. The methodological approach proposed by G.V. Vyazov. For comparison, data are given for all administrative-territorial entities that are part of the Ural Federal District. Based on the calculations, the Sverdlovsk region showed the best efficiency of use by categories of agricultural land and forest land (factor indices X1 and X6), which ensured the maximum values of the resulting indicator return to land (ratio of gross regional product to total land area). In the Tyumen region, the maximum in the Ural Federal District indicator of land profitability was revealed (the ratio of the gross profit of the economy to all land areas), which is a consequence of the region's export orientation and significant incomes of the oil and gas complex. The factor indices X2-X5, which characterize the best return on the categories of industrial lands, lands of settlements and lands of the water fund, have been exceeded relative to the Sverdlovsk region.
