Notes:

It's misleading, because later in the video, the statistic refers to the amount of interior toilets inside houses, as opposed to exterior toilets outside of houses... (Bathrooms vs outhouses)

Anyways, the video is more generic than that... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ0g8uhNhJA

Lemmygrad notes: Can you please explain this discrepancy though, in all seriousness?

I have no intention to even watch that video lol.

If i had to guess, it's about urbanisation and plumbing. Eastern part of Poland was and still is more rural, so most of them only got plumbing during PRL, while western was much more urbanised and industrialised.

Now even looking at the screenshot the video is in bad faith since it clearly imply not having toilet happened only in the Russian partition while in fact it was even worse in Austrian ("Galician poverty" was proverbial to the point even today many people know that idiom).

One can find many such cases where there's a West-East split. It didn't help that nearly all lib governments shat on Eastern Poland and did not invest much in it.
