The analysis refers to the author earlier publication and shows regional differences between the population size by the census 2002 and estimated on current registration, subjected to both overestimation and underestimation. Here these differences are related to missing responses. In certain 'gminy' (communes) the share of missing answer comes over 20 per cent (average in Poland - about 2 per cent). A non-response is analysed with respect to the place of residence, education and source of maintenance of a respondent. Results confirm the previous conclusions that the regional differences between the census population size and the population estimated on current registration result from unregistered emigration, especially oscillatory one.

The paper presents spatial analysis of diversification concerning the level of disablement on the basis of the last National Census, 2002. It indicates that the afore-mentioned disablement, to a larger degree, does not coincide with the distribution of the demographic old-age which is considered to be the main cause of disability (in quantitative terms). Among many other factors responsible for that situation, the article highlights such elements as functional structure, including the level of socio-economic development, unemployment and employment in agriculture. Also, the paper suggests that the high number of handicapped people in some 'gminas' may be related with different approach on the part of the inhabitants to legal and administrative procedures that are required to obtain disablement status for economic purposes.

The National Population Census carried out in July 2002 provided detailed information about the size of the population and its regional distribution in Poland. Comparisons of this information with the estimation based on current registration revealed that the population in Poland was about 400 thousands people smaller than estimated. The article discusses the sources of these differences. It is common to explain differences between the census and register data with differences in methodology used by the two data sources. The differences were expected and were supposed to be a result of unregistered emigration, which is possible to grasp only by the census. However, the analysis, especially in the regional breakdown, shows that this is only a part of the explanation. Differences in census and register data by regions can be caused by administrative changes, especially related to spatial development of cities and formation of new cities within some old ones. Analyses demonstrated remarkable overestimation and underestimation of number of people in regions according to registration in comparison to the census. The most remarkable differences were found for the greatest agglomerations - Katowice (about -70 thousands) and Warsaw ones (about +100 thousands). Considerable regional differences call into question recent studies on spatial dimensions of demographic processes. It seems to be necessary to reformulate current conclusions concerning directions of demographic development by regions and assumptions of demographic forecasts. Key words: population estimates versus the census population, regional differences in the population size

The article presents a detailed analysis of a spatial distribution of immigration to Poland in the period 1989-2002 based on the data from the National Census 2002 (the data used refer to the lowest spatial disaggregation i.e. they refer to immigrants in gminas). Despite the fact that the census data show the stock of immigrants remarkably lower than estimates provided by several institutions, the regional analysis reveals a spatial distribution which seems to reflect the spatial pattern of the real immigrant population. One can also discuss reasons behind that pattern. According to the census data, at the end of May, 2002, there were 85,5 thousand persons who came to Poland after 1989. Among them 81.5% had a Polish citizenship and 41.3% arrived from Germany and the USA, therefore one can suppose that return migration contributed remarkably to that population. Immigrants came to the largest and more developed metropolies: Warsaw (11.3 thousand), Kraków (3.4), Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot (3.4), Wroclaw (2.8) and Lodz (2.0). Altogether the main metropolitan areas concentrated 40% of the total immigrant population. Both immigration rates and the immigration share in the total inflow were the highest values in gminas located at the borders and the Warsaw agglomeration. They were also at the high level in sites considered as interested for tourists.
