Poland's Boguszów‑Gorce poorest, Kleszczów richest municipality

Data from the Polish Ministry of Finance’s G index show a stark gap in per‑capita tax revenues among municipalities. Boguszów‑Gorce in the Lower Silesian province records the lowest income, about 1,009 zł per resident, reflecting the town’s 14‑thousand‑person population and the legacy of mine closures.

Kleszczów in the Łódź region tops the list with more than 32,000 zł per resident – over 31 times the amount in Boguszów‑Gorce – and has led the ranking for years. The ten poorest towns also include Grybów (Małopolskie), Dynów (Podkarpackie), Pszów (Śląskie), Górowo Iławeckie (Warmińsko‑Mazurskie), Sulmierzyce (Wielkopolskie), Bielawa (Dolnośląskie), Łęknica (Lubuskie), Piława Górna (Dolnośląskie) and Sejny (Podlaskie). Three of the bottom‑ten entries are from Lower Silesia, underscoring pronounced regional disparities in municipal finances.
