The analyses carried out in the paper concern changes in the number of inhabitants in two types of places: towns and urban settlements. The role of natural increase, migration movements and administrative changes are taken into account. But the main aim of the work is to show differentiation of demographic dynamics in various types of towns, in connection with their localization and economic functions.
On the basis of the research, the conclusion is stated that dynamics of population development in the examined district has been distincly weaking in the second half of the 20th century. This process has started in the middle of the seventies and has become more intense in the period of transformation, which is bound, to some extent, with consequences of the economic crisis.
