About - Tychy
Tychy, with about 125,000 residents in Silesian Voivodeship, is a modern, planned-built socialist city (since 1950) — known for the Tyskie brewery and a car factory (Stellantis). Strengths: FULL sewage coverage of 100% (100th percentile), very low overall crime of 17.85/1,000 (94th percentile), 135 ha of lakes (92nd percentile, including Paprocany), low property crime (9.3/1,000, 89th percentile), low unemployment of 2.5% (88th percentile) and high forest cover of 27.2% (86th percentile). Gross wages of PLN 8,149 (94% of the national average), 380 employed persons per 1,000 and a business density of 1,264 REGON entities per 10,000 round out the stable picture. 5 museums, 4 cultural centres, 75 km of bike paths. The single weakness: an exceptionally low sports-club density of 2.5 per 10,000 (5th percentile). Tychy offers an exemplary balance of safety, environment, sanitation infrastructure and labour market — a model city for families working in the automotive and food industries of southern Poland.
