Poverty is influenced by many factors including school enrollment rate, life expectancy, gross regional domestic product, human development index and open unemployment rate.

The purpose of this study is to cluster provinces in Indonesia based on poverty levels using the average linkage method. The results of this study obtained 5 clusters, where cluster 1 consists of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, North Sumatra, West Sumatra, Riau, Jambi, South Sumatra, Bengkulu, Lampung, Bangka Belitung Islands, Central Java, East Java, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, North Kalimantan, Central Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, Gorontalo, West Sulawesi, Maluku, North Maluku and West Papua.
