About - Krosno

Krosno, with about 45,000 residents in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, is a historic centre of the petroleum craft (the cradle of Polish oil from Łukasiewicz's time) and glass production (Krosno Glass), located at the foothills of the Low Beskids. Strengths: an excellent labour market with 498 employed persons per 1,000 inhabitants (97th percentile), zero road fatalities in 2024 (97th percentile), very low violent crime (0.27 per 1,000, 97th percentile) and low overall crime of 17.71/1,000 (95th percentile). A dense network of sports clubs (6.7 per 10,000, 91st percentile) and 4 museums provide decent quality of life. Weaknesses: the lowest wages of any powiat-status city (PLN 7,011 gross, 81% of the national average, 0 percentile) and low new-business registration (324, 3rd percentile) signal structural economic weakness. Virtually no forest within city limits (0.5%, 2nd percentile), no lakes, no bus lanes. Despite high employment the city is ageing (natural increase of -7.44/1,000). Krosno suits those who value safety, employment in the local glass industry and the authenticity of a small city, while accepting much lower wages than the metros.
