Based on thorough studies of Wieliczka’s parish registers and the 1788 census, the most relevant ratios for the protoindustrial population are presented. The results are compared with other towns and cities of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and in Europe, in order to present the characteristics of a mining town in comparison with other centers. Building on the results, it will be possible to determine whether Wieliczka can be characterized as a Western European town.
