GDP ranking of voivodeships. One part of Poland earns almost three times more than the other

The Central Statistical Office has published the latest data - for 2024 - on GDP per capita of individual regions and voivodeships of Poland in relation to the national average. Where GDP per capita is highest, the best-paid jobs, investments and developed services tend to be concentrated there.

The data shows persistent regional development inequalities. The voivodeships of eastern Poland - especially the Lublin, Warmian-Masurian and Podkarpackie voivodeships - achieve a significantly lower level of GDP per capita than the national average. This may be influenced by, among others: smaller number of large enterprises, poorer transport accessibility, lower urbanization and outflow of working-age residents.

Here is the ranking - taking into account that the Masovian Voivodeship is divided into two statistical regions: Warsaw Capital and Masovian Regional:

Warsaw capital – 200.4 percent

Lower Silesia – 106.5 percent

Greater Poland Voivodeship – 104.9 percent

Silesia – 100.2 percent

Pomeranian Voivodeship – 95.3 percent

Łódź Voivodeship – 94.6 percent

Masovian regional – 91.0 percent

Lesser Poland Voivodeship – 89.6 percent

West Pomeranian Voivodeship – 81.9 percent

Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship – 80.7 percent

Opole Voivodeship – 80.6 percent

Lubuskie – 79.8 percent

Podlaskie – 77.27 percent

Świętokrzyskie – 76.7 percent

Podkarpackie – 72.9 percent

Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship – 71.0 percent
