Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an analysis and assessment of changes in housing situation in Poland on basis of 2002 and 2011 Censuses. The analysis shows that between 2003-2011 a regression was observed in scale and significance of many elements of the public sector in housing in Poland. The regression corresponds with excessive market orientation of the housing policy in Poland and resulting immediacy and short-sightedness of institutional and legal regulations. Simultaneously, improvement in housing and increase in the average size and density of population of flats in Poland were observed, including in the public sector.
