Kleszczów is probably the wealthiest "gmina" in Poland(by income from tax). In relation to the poorest it has about 100 times more income. The reason is the presence of the "Bełchatów" coal mine (coal is called "black gold" in Poland, being one of the biggest resources) and powerhouse. Because of it, where income from the mine and powerhouse gives 160 mln PLN from taxes, Kleszczów has higher (over a dozen times) tax income per capita than in the state city of Poland(Warszawa-Warsaw)- about 33560,89 zł per capita (also because of low population). Because of it, in this gmina (which is unusual in Poland) there are services free for inhabitants : swimming pool, meals and holidays for minors, better roads and free separate private medical service access.
