Abstract. Let $X\subset \mathbb {P}^N$ be an integral and non-degenerate variety. For each $P\in \mathbb {P}^N$ the X-rank $r_X(P)$ of $P$ is the minimal cardinality of a subset of $X$ whose linear span contains $P$. For each $x>0$ set $A_X(x) := \{P\in \mathbb {P}^N: r_X(P) =x\}$. We prove that if $r_{\m}$ is the maximum of all $r_X(P)$ and $a:= \dim (X) \le N-2$, then $\dim (A_X(r_{\m} -1)) \ge \max \{1+a, \dim (A_X(r_{\m} ))+2\}$.
