About - Wałbrzych
Wałbrzych, with about 104,000 residents in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, is a historic coal-mining centre at the foothills of the Sudetes (Książ Castle landscape park, the Old Mine museum), which regained powiat status in 2013. Strengths: Poland's second-best housing affordability (0.53 monthly salaries per m², 97th percentile) and very low prices of PLN 4,625/m² (95th percentile), high police effectiveness of 80.5% (91st percentile), high forest cover of 31% (91st percentile) and 80.3 m² of greenery per inhabitant (86th percentile). Gross wages of PLN 8,658 (100% of the national average — thanks to the InvestPark Wałbrzych special economic zone) are surprisingly high. Weaknesses are alarming, however: POLAND'S WORST natural increase at -11.1/1,000 (0 percentile), very advanced ageing (old-age dependency 43.8, 3rd percentile), very low live births of 4.57/1,000 (5th percentile), high overall crime of 41.5/1,000 (9th percentile) and low library readership of 7,393 (11th percentile). Wałbrzych is a city of dramatic contrasts: a dynamic economic zone and beautiful Sudetes nature alongside depopulation on a catastrophic scale for this small market.
