Between 1 October and 28 November 2022, a population census is conducted in Hungary. The purpose is to provide an accurate and detailed picture of the size, demographic characteristics, health condition, employment, living and housing conditions of Hungary’s population. This information is necessary in the preparation of economic and social decisions affecting all citizens’ lives, the planning of local improvements and scientific research.

It is exceptionally important to us to provide more up-to-date information on the social and economic developments in our country, in addition to our regular and detailed publications.
Our WEEKLY MONITOR provides insights into trends in key areas through weekly, monthly and quarterly data from our interactive chart collection.
Most WEEKLY MONITOR charts can also be downloaded in image and data formats (PNG, SVG and CSV).
