Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to carry out an exploratory analysis of a broad enough group of variables related to the economic capacity at a local level. Within this frame, the first step is to create a synthetic index of the economic capacity. This index will allow to achieve a ranking according to several mixed characteristics. Afterwards, a factorial analysis is carried out. Such an analysis summarizes and simplifies the information about the different variables which characterize the counties (comarcas). The final task consists of a cluster analysis whose aim is to obtain groups of counties according to criteria of homogeneity
