- Ząbki experienced one of the highest population growth rates in Poland over the last two decades due to its strategic position on the outskirts of the Warsaw metropolitan area.
- The city's rapid expansion has historically been tied to the development of the Warsaw-Petersburg railway line, which historically influenced the town's early residential layout.
- Despite being a suburban town, Ząbki has maintained significant forested areas like Las Bródnowski, which physically separates the town from the dense urban sprawl of Warsaw's Targówek district.
