The Statistical Office in Poznań has prepared the 21st, redesigned edition of the “Statistical Yearbook of Wielkopolskie Voivodship”. This time information in statistical tables is illustrated with maps and charts, which enrich the yearbook’s knowledge content. The graphical presentation of different thematic areas provides the reader with a fuller understanding of the phenomena in question and makes it easier to recognise development trends and spatial relationships. In this way, the visual content of the yearbook supplements the quantitative description of various phenomena and serves as an illustration of the facts and figures.

The beginnings of the Statistical Yearbook of Poznań go back to the 1920s. The series, which was interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War, was resumed only in 1960. In the following decades, the Yearbook appeared with varying frequency. Since 1999, it has been published in a two-year cycle. Each edition provides an up-to-date picture of the city, described in the terms of indicators and figures that characterise social, demographic and economic phenomena taking place in the capital of Wielkopolskie Voivodship.
