Abstract: Demographic security is one of the key elements of the national security system and influ-ences all its constituent elements. This article aims to develop a methodological approach to assessing the level of demographic security in a region. The study aims to improve and test the assessment of regional demographic security, considering the specifics of its development and the heterogeneity of socioeconomic relations. The study's hypothesis is that comparing the calculated levels of demographic security of regions with their external statistical ratings (used as reference values) improves existing methods for assessing de-mographic security and increases the reliability of the results obtained. The article employs economic and statistical methods, as well as methods of comparison and analogy. It systematized the existing approaches to assessing demographic security, identified the limitations, and noted the lack of universality of the wide-ly used index method. The author proposes an improved approach to calculating the integral index of a re-gion's demographic security level. The author tested their methodological approach using the Ural Federal District as an example. The author provides general practical recommendations to improve the efficiency of assessing the demographic situation of a particular region while taking into account its specific socioeco-nomic characteristics.
