Since the economic reform in 1978, the problem of regional inequality in China has gathered a lot of attentions. This study focuses on the regional differentiation which is directly related to the regional inequality. The purpose of this paper is to extract the typology in the regional differentiation of industrial structure which reflects the characteristics of regional economy at the prefectural level in China.Forty-six (46) variables on social economy were collected from the statistical secondary data and integrated into twelve (12) principal components based on factor analysis. Each of them reflects a social phenomenon. Then the cluster analysis by factor scores of the principal components extracted the five types of prefecture in Chinese rural area. These types present not only the inter-regional differentiation, which reflects to the regional inequality existing between Eastern, Central, and Western Region, but also the intra-regional differentiation, which reflects to the regional inequality existing insides the provinces.The geographical distribution of the types indicates the location condition as a main causal factor determining the development degree and inequality of regional economy in China. However, the fact that some prefectures with high development degree exist even in the rural and remote areas suggests the possibility that disadvantageous areas could be developed if proper development policy is introduced with good local government.
