The purpose of this study is to find out how the level of rural social security development in Sichuan Province ranks nationally, and the research method was the application of principal component analysis for empirical analysis. The conclusion is that Sichuan Province ranks 24th among the 31 provinces, and does not adapt to the overall economic development. The main reasons for this result according to the analysis of relevant materials are the lack of financial investment in rural social security and the gap between rural social security and urban social security. Thus, some reasonable suggestions are put forward.
