About - Przemyśl
Przemyśl, with about 58,000 residents in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, is a historic border city (15 km from Ukraine) with the imposing Przemyśl Fortress and a rich multicultural heritage. Today it serves as a logistics-border hub, especially for traffic with Ukraine. Strengths: the highest sports-club density in Poland at 8.1 per 10,000 inhabitants (100th percentile), very strong wage growth of 17.24% YoY (92nd percentile), full sewage coverage of 99.9% (92nd percentile), high police effectiveness of 80.3% (89th percentile) and low property crime (9.33 per 1,000, 88th percentile). 6 museums and an impressive accommodation base (16.6 bed places per 1,000, 998 tourists per 1,000). Weaknesses: the highest unemployment among powiat-status cities — 10.5% (0 percentile) — low wages of PLN 7,329 gross (85% of the national average, 9th percentile), low investment outlays of PLN 234 million (11th percentile) and a small number of newly registered businesses (423, 12th percentile). Demographically the city is ageing (natural increase of -8.03/1,000). Przemyśl offers an exceptional combination of safety, sports, culture and tourism appeal — but needs labour-market revitalisation.
