Polish towns are emptying. The most popular resort on the Baltic Sea topped an infamous ranking

A recent ranking highlights the significant outflow of residents from small Polish towns, with Hel experiencing the highest migration rate. Experts note that this trend affects many areas, driven by limited job opportunities and seasonal employment. Suburbanization is also noted, as residents seek quieter living conditions near larger cities. Young people often migrate to urban centers for better career prospects, leaving their hometowns after education. Experts suggest that reversing this trend will require long-term efforts and initiatives to enhance the appeal of smaller towns, such as scholarship programs and support for local businesses.
