Censuses

A census is a regular, usually repeated every 10 years, full-scale status survey that covers the entire population of a country and applies to a predetermined date. The census is the largest collection of population data and aims to provide an accurate and detailed picture of the size, demographic characteristics, health, employment, living and housing conditions of the population of Hungary. This information is necessary for the preparation of economic and social decisions affecting the lives of all of us, for planning local development and for scientific research.
