Abstract	Recently, issues of unification (consolidation) of the subjects of the Russian Federation have become more acute to improve the standard of living of the population and accelerate regional development. In the Far East, the Jewish Autonomous Region and the Khabarovsk Territory are considered as such subjects of the federation, which until 1992 formed a single administrative-territorial unit, and are currently the subject of discussion about the prospects of their merger. It is important to assess the potential of the municipalities of the named territories and the possibilities of its rational use. Using general scientific research methods, the work examines the concept of «socio-economic potential of a municipality» and identifies approaches to its quantitative assessment. Municipalities have been identified – the «locomotives» of economic development of the Khabarovsk Territory and the Jewish Autonomous Region, which have the most significant and actively used potential for municipal development; the high importance of the socio-economic potentials of urban districts is shown and the comparative values of the development potentials of municipal districts are assessed. The multivariance of assessments (multiplicity of options) of the potential of municipalities for the purposes of economic growth has been revealed. It has been determined that the structure of the socio-economic potential of the municipality also remains a subject of debate in the scientific community; there is no consensus on its constituent elements. It is noted that the systematization of the structural elements of the socio-economic potential of the municipality and approaches to its determination is especially relevant for the economy of modern Russia, as it allows us to determine the directions for using the resource component of the economy of the constituent entities of the federation.
