This paper uses principal component analysis and spatial autocorrelation analysis to study 86 cities' spatial differentiation rule of economic development in Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui and Jiangxi, the central China, in 2012, aiming at offering references for making related economy policies. Economic spatial development displays multi-core structure and “point-axis” features, of which the developed provinces act as the cores, so many cores are co-existing in central China's six provinces. A few economy axes are formed between developed provinces and under-developed ones. The economic space shows a pattern of “six peak two valley”. Six peaks are Taiyuan, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Tongling, Changsha and Nanchang cities as economic hotspots. Two valleys are marginal zones far from provincial cities in Hubei-Henna-Anhui and under-developed economic zones. In general, these six provinces' economy varies largely, unbalanced in regional development.
