On 1 October 2022, 3.4% fewer people were living in Hungary than at the reference date of the 2011 Census. The population has been falling steadily since 1980. The main reason is that deaths are increasingly outnumbering births.

Hungary's housing stock is growing from census to census. In 2022, there were 4.6 million dwellings in Hungary, an increase of 190 thousand (4.3%) compared to the previous census. Housing construction in Hungary reached its lowest point in 2013, followed by a recovery until 2020.

Most important data on settlements

2024.03.26.

The ‘Most important data on settlements’ application presents the 3155 settlements of Hungary and the 23 districts of the capital city based on the last three censuses (2001, 2011, 2022) with the help of impressive charts. 16 charts illustrate the demographic, educational and labour market characteristics of the population of the settlement, its ethnic and religious composition, the characteristics of households, families and housing conditions. A map can be used to select neighbouring settlements. The data in the charts can be downloaded in a variety of formats or viewed in the Census database.
