Qualitative Info |
There is no evidence of significant levels of segregation between minority groups and the majority population aside from several exceptions in southern Poland where Roma clusters are separated from the remainder of the locality. Moreover, there are areas that are inhabited primarily by some other national and ethnic minorities (e.g. the Puńsk municipality by Lithuanians) what stems from tradition and historical processes.
