In classical approach to poverty spheres' analyses - both objective and subjective - one uses poverty indicators that characterize mostly the range and the depth of this phenomenon. One of the most basic aspects in a multivariate approach is to determine these factors that increase the risk of poverty. The main aim of this paper is to characterize the poverty determinants as well as to estimate the risk of households becoming threatened by this phenomenon. Chosen methods of measuring qualitative characteristics will be used to achieve this aim. The second goal of this paper is an attempt at estimating and comparing poverty spheres in regional approach by means of most important poverty indicators. The source of the data in both cases is unidentifiable unitary data from household budget research carried out by CSO in 2008 and made available for academic research.
