Statistical data of industrial occupations show that the cities of Tohoku are dominantly the centers of areas with primary industries.<BR>1) The writer applied the method of statistical evaluation modified from H. Hoyt's formula in basic-nonbasic concepts. Tertiary industry branches and regional government are their dominant functions which exceed the equational level of self-sufficiency.<BR>2) This fact means the essentially homogeneous function of most cities and consequently suggests a formation like isolated urban society by J. Webb. But the nature is different from Webb's in its basis, that is, their centrality is a result of the functional differentiation with the integration to manufacturing cities in Central Japan.<BR>3) These features in Tohoku are shown typically in the northern half, north of central part of Yamagata Prefecture and of southern fringe of Miyagi Prefecture.<BR>4) The hierarchical differentiation of city size is everywhere clear as to the unit of local areas. There are four major types of class formation according to the regional conditions of industry or population density. But there is no evident synthesized hierarchy (as a synthesized one of their heterogenious types) in Tohoku as a whole.
