Adjusted population
Indicator description
The full-scope censuses conducted every ten years show a comprehensive picture of the number and composition of the population. For determining the annual population number in the period between two censuses, the starting point is the population number of the last census (currently the census with the reference date of 1 October 2022), and from this, the population was estimated by using natural increase or decrease data available from the statistics of vital events until 2000. From 2001 international migration is also taken into account.

October 6, Memorial Day for the Martyrs of Arad
October 6th, the date of the execution of the 13 Martyrs of Arad, has been a national day of mourning since 2001 (pursuant to Government Decree 237/2001. (XII. 10.) on national mourning). A total of 128 death sentences were carried out between January 1849 and February 1850 as part of the retaliations following the 1848–49 Revolution and War of Independence. However, the sacrifice of those executed was not in vain; they became symbols of patriotism, solidarity, and national cohesion, setting our nation on the path of civic development.06/10/2025
