This paper aims to calculate and to analyze a rural development index for the municipalities of Pará state, Brazil. The index was calculated by the factor analysis method. The variables used in the model were retrieved from the 2000 and 2010 population census; Human Development Atlas – UNDP (2013), and census of agriculture (2006). The results unveiled that most of the municipalities of Para presented low rural development index values. The greater is the isolation and the difficulty to access the areas, the worse it is the infrastructure found in those rural areas. Colonization of new areas was not followed by the implementation of services and the required infrastructure to provide life quality for both native and the migratory population that installed in the rural areas of Para state, Brazil.
