Living conditions
The living conditions and living standard of the population can be represented, among other things, by the indicators of poverty, social exclusion, income situation by social strata, data on consumption. Size and composition of households, families belong here, too.
Key figures

Hungary, 2018
In 2018, the Hungarian economy performed 4.9% better compared to the previous year. In parallel with economic growth, the labour market continued to expand dynamically. An important pillar of GDP growth was the improvement in the willingness of economic stakeholders to invest and the use of EU funds. In 2018, among factors influencing population number, the number of births declined faster than that of deaths. So the natural decline of the population continued. The total fertility rate was the same as in 2017, and the inclination to have children was significantly above the 2011 low.
Microcensus 2016 – 2. Characteristics of the population and dwellings
The first publication containing data from Microcensus 2016 provides the information collected on the basic questionnaire. The main characteristics of the population regarding demography, educational attainment, employment, household and family situation, as well as the main features of the housing stock are presented. The publication is richly illustrated with graphs and maps. As the annex of the publication approx. 1000 data tables are also available on the website of HCSO grouped by counties, and for the most important data detailed on district level. English language data tables are available in Excel to enable users to make their own calculations.
