Summary/Abstract: This paper investigates residential mobility in Poland. The main focus is placed on determining the level of housing mobility in Poland, as well as finding statistically significant differences between various socio-economic groups. The research was based on microdata from the 2017 wave of the Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS). The findings indicate that residential mobility in Poland was relatively low in comparison to other European Union member states, and there were statistically significant differences in housing mobility based on age, tenure status, income, wealth, level of education and the household’s composition. The study concludes that improving housing affordability is crucial for enhancing housing mobility in Poland.
