Abstract

This study examines disparities, sigma convergence, and the regional typology of human development across 11 regencies and cities in Jambi Province during 2020–2025. Using secondary Human Development Index (HDI) data from BPS-Statistics of Jambi Province, the study applies the range, population standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (CV) to evaluate absolute and relative dispersion. Sigma convergence is identified when cross-sectional dispersion declines over time, with the CV used as the primary criterion and the standard deviation and range used as supporting indicators. A four-quadrant typology combines each region's 2020–2025 average HDI with cumulative HDI growth. The mean HDI increased from 71.95 in 2020 to 74.99 in 2025. The CV declined from 4.23% to 3.88% and the standard deviation fell from 3.05 to 2.91, indicating moderate sigma convergence, although the range remained substantial at 11.01 points in 2025. No region occupied Quadrant I. Merangin, Sarolangun, Muaro Jambi, Tanjung Jabung Timur, and Tanjung Jabung Barat were classified as catching-up regions in Quadrant II; Batang Hari and Tebo occupied the low-achievement, low-growth Quadrant III; and Kerinci, Bungo, Jambi City, and Sungai Penuh City occupied the high-achievement, lower-growth Quadrant IV. The results show that rising HDI and declining relative dispersion coexist with a persistent absolute gap. Provincial policy should therefore sustain catching-up momentum, prioritize lagging regions, and protect service quality and inclusion in higher-achievement regions through place-sensitive interventions.
