The evolution of states in a spatial population model is studied. The model describes an infinite system of point entities in which reproduce themselves at distant points (disperse) and die with rate that includes a competition term. The system's states are probability measures on the space of configurations, and their evolution is obtained from a hierarchical chain of differential equations for the corresponding correlation functions derived from the Fokker-Planck equation for the states. Under natural conditions imposed on the model parameters it is proved that the correlation functions evolve in a scale of Banach spaces in such a way that at each moment of time the correlation function corresponds to a unique sub-Poissonian state. Some further properties of the evolution of states constructed in this way are described.
