The research methods combine the ESDA-GIS (exploratory spatial data analysis method in GIS) with traditional statistical analysis method including standard deviation coefficient of variation and spatial auto-correlation model. The research conclusion indicates the absolute and relative difference of county economic development level is expending and there exists strong spatial auto-correlation that counties with similar economic development level tend to be concentrated. There is a significant difference between the southern and northern Jiangsu province, which indicates county economy development is unbalanced in Jiangsu.
