In Poland, for many years, there has been observed an ever increasing importance of durables in households' consumption. The share of families' expenditure on this group of products has been increasing what, in result, facilitates improvement of the indices illustrating many households furnishing, and a higher dynamics, what is obvious, takes place in relation to goods that occur more seldom. The statistical data point out to great differences in households' furnishing with durables in the regional profile, and the scale of differentiation depends on types of equipment. Insignificant spatial differences take only place in case of universal goods, with a high degree of saturation. Decidedly larger one may be observed in case of the goods more seldom and very seldom occurring in equipment, of those assigned to modern, luxury ones.

The analysis of synthetic indicators, characterizing the production potential of rural areas, covering 49 provinces, showed that the changes in political-economic system in Polish agriculture increased the existing disproportions among the regions economically privileged and the areas underprivileged in this respect. This asymmetry is also intensified by greater activity of the country people in seeking for other nonagricultural sources of income. The consequence is the further increase of population (already numerous) in the villages with bigger economical and natural potential. In areas delayed in development, where the density of population is relatively low, the process of country people migration is in progress.
