Sisak, Croatia
Sisak is the administrative centre of Sisak-Moslavina County in central Croatia, at the confluence of the Kupa, Sava, and Odra rivers. It is anchored by Kaufland and Interspar (hypermarket), Pevex (hardware), and Hervis (sport) — one Regional-tier co-location cluster, the framework's highest single-cluster tier. Graz, Austria, sits 189.2 kilometres away by straight-line distance. The market carries European Regional Market classification under the co-location screening framework's composition gate.
Overview
Sisak recorded 40,121 residents at the 2021 census, roughly 57 kilometres southeast of Zagreb. The city was originally a Roman settlement known as Siscia, and gained lasting historical prominence for the 1593 Battle of Sisak, where joint Croatian, Austrian, and Slovenian forces won an early victory against Ottoman expansion into Europe. Sisak today is home to Croatia's largest oil refinery and functions as a significant river port.
Anchor Composition
The cluster spans just under two kilometres and combines a hypermarket, hardware, and sport anchor. Kaufland and Interspar, hypermarket chains comparable to Walmart or Kroger, sit alongside Pevex (hardware, comparable to Home Depot or Lowe's) and Hervis (sport).
Civic anchors include the Dr. Ivo Pedišić General Hospital and the Faculty of Metallurgy, a University of Zagreb faculty sited in Sisak.
Regional Market Standing

| Catchment population | Not yet computed for this cluster |
The distance above is a straight-line (crow-flies) measurement to the nearest major metropolitan reference point, not a drive-time or commuting estimate — Sisak sits within Croatia's own central region, not a Graz commuter belt. Catchment population has not yet been computed for Sisak's cluster in the current dataset build; Croatia is one of six European countries without this figure in the 2026-08-07 release, alongside Bulgaria, Finland, Norway, Romania, and Sweden. See Top 400 Regional Markets — Europe for the full Top 400 set and Co-location Methodology for how markets qualify.
AEC Data
Cluster-level climate, seismic, and wildfire-hazard data has not yet been computed for Sisak's cluster in the current GIS dataset build. This section will populate once that coverage extends here; see GIS Data Overview for the AEC data pipeline.
