I would like to ask, ifIs it is possible to split the number of inhabitants that are spread outtotal population in 501 different polygons, in theeach polygon with a different number of inhabitants into two areasNorth/South sub-areas with roughly the same number of inhabitants but keep it in theeach sub-area?

The split line, trending east-west should be along administrative boundaries of the polygons. The split should be from west to east. It (it is called geographic median if you know what I mean).i.e. no polygon divided/shared between sub-areas.

The region looks like in the picture and it hasshows the region with 501 villages (polygons) with different amountnumbers of inhabitants each.
