The Łęczna county

The Łęczna County, with the starosty seat in Łęczna, covers the central part of the Lublin voyvodeship. The county has existed within its current borders since 1998, i.e. since the last administrative reform in Poland. The county consists of the following districts: Cyców, Ludwin, Łęczna, Milejów, Puchaczów and Spiczyn. Its area amounts to 634 km2, and the population - circa 57,000 people. The comparison with the remaining 19 counties in the Lublin voyvodeship shows that the county is inhabited by a relatively small population, whereas the population density index - 90.5 people per km2 - is a little higher than the voyvodeship average (87.2).
