In this study, we examined the spatial distribution of subjective poverty across Turkey’s provinces. To accomplish this, we utilized the proportion of individuals who reported an inability to meet their basic needs, as reflected in the life index indicators computed by the Turkish Statistical Institute. After mapping the distribution of this variable by province, Moran’s I statistic, which is the spatial interaction statistic, was calculated It has been determined that the spatial distribution of subjective poverty is not random. It has been observed that the subjective poverty or perception of poverty in the context of the provinces of Turkey is similar and has a cluster. The existence of local clusters belonging to this statistic was investigated with LISA statistic and Getis-0rd statistic. According to the findings, the provinces that are high spots are generally the ones in the southeast and eastern regions of Turkey. Low spot areas are generally seen in the provinces in the western part of the country. According to the local spatial heterogeneity statistic Hi, it is seen that the provinces in high and low spots are not different from their neighbors.
