Regions of Poland
Over half of Poles believe that there are some regions where it is better to live in and some where it is worse. In social consciousness there is a clear distinction between regions which are better and those which are worse for residents. For most interviewees convinced of these differences Central Poland is a better place for its residents (57%). One in four (25%) thinks that it is the Southern Region and one in five (21%) points to the Northwestern one. 16% of interviewees expressing their opinion about better regions said it is the Northern Region and 12% that it is the Southwestern Region. Only few (3%) point to the Eastern Region.
The place most often chosen as worse to live in is the Eastern Poland (66%). Almost one in six respondents convinced of worse regions existence believes that it is the Northern Region (16%) and one in eight that it is the Southern Region (13%). Other areas were rarely mentioned.
More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish: „Regions of Poland”.
The data comes from the survey “Current Problems and Events” conducted from 5 to 12 December 2013.
