The main indicators of the level of development of housing and utilities infrastructure, broken down in accordance with the functional components of security of housing and utilities infrastructure, are generalized to a single composite indicator of the level of development. Using multivariate statistical analysis, there established a direct linear relationship between the component of quality of life in Ukraine and the level of development of housing and utilities infrastructure, in particular, equipment of the housing in the country.
