About - Mysłowice

Mysłowice, with about 73,000 residents in Silesian Voivodeship, is a historic Silesian city at the meeting point of three regions (Silesia, Lesser Poland and Zaolzie), known for its former emigration station (the "Silesian Gate"). Strengths: a very favourable demographic structure (old-age dependency ratio of just 30.8 — 95th percentile, one of the best in the country), zero road fatalities in 2024 (94th percentile), forest cover of 25.8% (83rd percentile) and low housing prices of PLN 5,694/m² (82nd percentile). Weaknesses are very pronounced: no tourism base whatsoever — zero accommodation establishments, zero bed places, zero tourists in 2024 (all 0 percentile). A nearly nonexistent bike infrastructure (19.8 km per 100 km², 0 percentile), only 13 km of bike paths total (2nd percentile) and very low housing construction at 1.6 dwellings per 1,000 (3rd percentile). Gross wages of PLN 7,329 (85% of the national average) and unemployment of 5.2% are below Silesian standards. Mysłowice offers affordable housing in a demographically favourable corner of the Silesian agglomeration, but is practically devoid of its own tourism-recreational offer.
