Региональные рейтинги

Russian to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
The title of a graph that I unfortunately do not have my own copy of, although it might be this one:
http://www.raexpert.ru/ratings/regions?sort=rating&type=asc

The graph is part of an article describing various economic indices in the RF over the past decade or so. Here's the context I can muster from the text itself

Региональные рейтинги РФ

Отметим также, что географические особенности России оказывают серьезное влияние на социально-экономическое развитие ее регионов, которое отражается в региональной статистике Росстата , а также в рейтингах инвестиционной привлекательности (например, составляемых рейтинговым агентством «Эксперт»

The translated term should fit in with the list of graphs listed on the following website, although I have this link here only as a reference, as the graph in question is not on this list: http://www.gks.ru/bgd/regl/B09_14p/Main.htm

regional rankings

People translate this as "ratings" all the time, but I believe "rankings" is usually better in English, especially in a case where they're talking about which region is better than which according to various parameters.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Kiwiland Bear : Yes & No. If you check the first link, regions there are assigned a value, a rating and only then ranked according to that rating. So I guess depends how you use it, what you want to emphasise.

Thanks. I wanted to get "ranking" in, because it's so often overlooked on account of the Russian word being the borrowed "rating." But if you order things, it's a ranking, even if what they're ordered by is their... rating. That's what I think, anyway.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "The graphic, ultimately, was a numbered list of the various regions, ranked by various criteria. So I was definetly looking at a "ranking". Thanks for your help!"
