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.

My service and there are the records! Points of interest about US Open
The 2025 US Open, which can be proud of several points of interest and records, is held between 24 August and 7 September. Among Grand Slam tournaments, the US Open Tennis Championships were the first that, in 1973, (ending sexual discrimination) introduced identical prize money to be awarded in the main events – women’s and men’s singles. The total prize to be awarded in this year’s competition (90 million dollars) as well as the 5 million dollars to be awarded to both singles winners are equally records in tennis history.

20 August
In memory of (Saint) Stephen I, 20 August is the holiday of the foundation of the state, on the occasion that our first king was canonised on 20 August 1083. According to the chronicles, the crowning of Saint Stephen took place at the end of the year 1000 (or possibly on the first day of the year 1001), so we can celebrate 1,025 years of Hungarian statehood this year. On this occasion, we prepared a little bit of statistics on the heads of state of Hungary.
