Each entry is a named suburb or satellite municipality between 15 and 80 kilometres of a major Polish metropolitan reference point that contains at least one retail co-location cluster, screened and scored under the [[about-regional-markets-system|co-location regional market framework]]. This page is a filtered, Poland-specific view of that continental table — not a separate dataset — so every rank, score, and tier count below matches the continental table exactly and updates automatically if that table is corrected. ## Metropolitan groupings Poland's 16 markets cluster most heavily around Katowice (4 markets), reflecting the density of the Upper Silesian Industrial Region's suburban belt — the same regional cluster that anchors [[pl-bielsko-biala|Bielsko-Biała]], one of Poland's highest-scoring entries. Kraków (3) and Gdańsk (2) form a second tier. The remaining markets are single entries reporting to Kielce, Bydgoszcz, Łódź, Gliwice, Warsaw, Wrocław, and Łomża. ## Score distribution Bielsko-Biała (suburb of Katowice, score 12.0) is Poland's highest-scoring entry — two Tier 1 clusters with a civic anchor — followed by Radom (suburb of Kielce, score 10.5, a rare T1+T2+T3 combination with a civic anchor). Toruń and Częstochowa both score 9.0 on a Tier 1 + Tier 2 combination. Most of Poland's remaining entries score 6.0 on a single Tier 1 cluster, and Gdynia and Nowy Sącz score 4.5 on a Tier 2+Tier 3 combination. Poczesna and Rumia are Poland's lowest-ranked entries at 4.0. ## Ranked markets | Rank | Market | Suburb of | km | T1 | T2 | T3 | Civic | Score | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 6 | [[pl-bielsko-biala\|Bielsko-Biała]] | Katowice | 48 | 2 | 0 | 0 | Yes | 12.0 | | 8 | Radom | Kielce | 69 | 1 | 1 | 1 | Yes | 10.5 | | 25 | Toruń | Bydgoszcz | 45 | 1 | 1 | 0 | Yes | 9.0 | | 26 | Częstochowa | Katowice | — | 1 | 1 | 0 | — | 9.0 | | 249 | Tarnów | Kraków | — | 1 | 0 | 0 | — | 6.0 | | 250 | Piotrków Trybunalski | Łódź | — | 1 | 0 | 0 | — | 6.0 | | 251 | Żory | Gliwice | — | 1 | 0 | 0 | — | 6.0 | | 252 | Piaseczno | Warsaw | — | 1 | 0 | 0 | — | 6.0 | | 253 | Tychy | Katowice | — | 1 | 0 | 0 | — | 6.0 | | 254 | Lubin | Wrocław | — | 1 | 0 | 0 | — | 6.0 | | 255 | Ostrołęka | Łomża | — | 1 | 0 | 0 | — | 6.0 | | 256 | Nowy Targ | Kraków | — | 1 | 0 | 0 | — | 6.0 | | 328 | Gdynia | Gdańsk | — | 0 | 1 | 1 | — | 4.5 | | 329 | Nowy Sącz | Kraków | — | 0 | 1 | 1 | — | 4.5 | | 351 | Poczesna | Katowice | — | 1 | 0 | 0 | — | 4.0 | | 352 | Rumia | Gdańsk | — | 1 | 0 | 0 | — | 4.0 | ## See also - [[atlas-top-400-europe]] — the full European ranked list this page filters - [[about-regional-markets-system]] — the co-location methodology and market selection criteria - [[co-location-intelligence-overview]] — how this ranking feeds site-selection decisions
