In 2018, 100 years have passed since the regaining of independence by Poland and the establishment of Statistics Poland. On this occasion, the Statistical Office in Katowice prepared “Statistical Atlas of Śląskie Voivodship”.

The study contains a data set for 2016 (in terms of regional accounts – 2015) and in retrospection since 2000. It also includes the population projection until 2040. Basic information is presented on choropleth maps and diagram maps and charts. For a more complete picture of the voivodship, the information grouped into chapters on human capital, quality of life, economy and environment is presented on the level of gminas or powiats as well as in comparison to European Union regions (NUTS 2).
