Six challenges for the standard cosmological model ΛCDM are listed, which arise when comparing its
conclusions with observational data on scales of ∼1 Mpc. The parameters of luminous and dwarf galaxies
in the local sphere with a radius of 12 Mpc are presented. The average densities of stellar mass, neutral gas
and dark matter are determined depending on the distance in the Local volume. A future of the distribution of
angular momentum of nearby galaxies is noted. A comparison of mass estimates for systems of galaxies based
on the motions of its internal (virialized) members and neighboring galaxies is given. The reasons for the low
value of the dark matter density, Ωm =0.08±0.02, in the local Universe with respect to the global value Ωm =0.30±0.02 are discussed.
