The demographic structure of municipalities was characterized by selected demografic indicators and the situation of the budgets was characterized by appropriate budget income indicators. To achieve the purpose of the analysis, Pearson correlation coefficients were used. The results of the study show that relatively strongest effect on budget revenues of municipalities Warmia and Mazury had the age structure of the population and migration (internal and external), and to a lesser extent – gender structure of population. Other factors – such as the number of marriages or births – did not affect the budget revenues.
