Abstract: Assessment of local government debt capacity is important to avoid debt default, furthermore, as local debt is classified as general and special debt, its corresponding classified evaluation should be conducted. By using entropy method, quantitative evaluation of debt capacity of 30 provinces from 2010 to 2014 in China and the corresponding general and special debt capacity in 2014 are conducted, results show that, the eastern province is relatively high, followed in the west and mid minimum; at the same time, for the difference between provinces, the east is the largest, second in the west and mid minimum; and general debt is slightly higher than special debt which is more obvious difference between provinces. Therefore, we should focus on key areas, pay more attention to special debt risk, and promote its space equilibrium.
