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 2011), 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.

In March the increase in rents continued at a more moderate pace than in the previous two months: they became 0.8% higher nationally and 0.9% higher in Budapest in a month, rising in all district groups in the capital city.

After a slight increase in February, real rents compared to the previous month stagnated in March.
