A statistical locality (miejscowość statystyczna)[3] is a separated collection of several localities (out of all 23 types) for statistical purposes, for which statistical data are collected and compiled together. In a special case, the team may contain only one locality. There are two types of statistical localities:
I - city/town (miasto) including one "urban" basic locality and their integral parts, and
II - rural locality (miejscowość wiejska) including at least one "rural" basic locality and their integral parts.
In 2011 there was 42,490 of statistical localities.[5] Thus, a large number (approx. 11,000) of the "rural" basic localities is taken together under the statistical localities (however, this data do not stipulate how many of tham are fully uninhabited).
