Objective  The purpose of this study was to discusses the spatio-temporal evolution of urban residential land price and its main influencing factors in Jiangxi Province.

(2) The urban residential land price presented high in the northeast and low in the southwest. And the local-spatial clustering pattern was dominated by Low-High clustering model with the characteristics of stronger stability.
