The last column of Table 1 shows the difference in RHDI between consecutive provinces. The
figure for the distance between the top province, Tehran, and the next province, Qom, is
strikingly high indicating that Tehran is by far the most advanced province. The difference
between Qom, Isfahan and Yazd are relatively high as compared to those for the rest of the
provinces with the exception of Sistan Baluchestan. Indeed the figure for the latter province
indicates that it is by far the most backward province in the whole country. It is interesting to
note that the difference between Sistan and Baluchestan and it s next best province ( Kordestan
which is also a backward province) is much larger than the difference between Tehran and
Qom. The differences between the RHDI scores of the remaining provinces, as compared to
these extreme cases, are relatively smaller.
