Th e Hungarian Central Statistical Offi ce conducted the 15th census of Hungary in October 2011. Th e census of 2011 has been performed taking into consideration the traditions and experiences of nearly one and a half century and, at the same time, adjusted to the social, demographic and economic conditions of the 21st century with content and methods suitable to explore them. At the same time, based on UN recommendations, our census fi ts in the line of censuses worldwide round 2010, and it meets the requirements of the EU legislation on censuses as well. Consequently, it is possible so to trace the changes compared to the earlier censuses in Hungary as to compare the observed phenomena with those of other European or non-European countries. In October 2011, nearly 40 thousand enumerators visited about 4.4 million dwellings in order to collect data on the social, demographic and economic characteristics as well on the housing conditions of the population in Hungary. 2 million personal questionnaires from 827 thousand dwellings were completed and received via internet, while more than one and a half million paper questionnaires were self-completed. Processing and publishing census data is a process of several years. In order to inform those who are interested as soon as possible, and in line with the census practices in Hungary, HCSO publishes preliminary census data already before data processing on the basis of information collected separately and produced after the primary review of questionnaires received by diff erent means and methods of data provision. After completing the processing of questionnaires, the thematically detailed segments of the rich data treasure produced by the census will be published, and, within the limits of data protection rules, we will provide possibility for our users to search the thematically arranged data stocks as well. Our present publication shows the changes in the population number and in the most important data of the dwelling stock. Dear Reader! I would like to thank you for contributing to the success of the census either as data provider or as participant. Budapest, March 2012 Dr. Gabriella Vukovich President Hungarian Central Statistical Offi ce Preliminary data 5 NUMBER OF POPULATION AND DWELLINGS BASED ON PRELIMINARY DATA OF THE 2011 CENSUS Population, population density Change in the According to the preliminary results of the census compiled on the basis of population number information of data collection organization preceding detailed data processing, the population of Hungary was 9 million 982 thousand on 1 October 2011, 2.1 percent fewer than at the census of 1 February 2011. Th e population of the country has been continuously decreasing since 1981. Th e extent of the fall was the most considerable in the 1980s, it moderated in the 1990s, and then, it accelerated again between 2001 and 2011. Natural decrease is a determinant factor in the fall of the population number. Since 1981, the number of liveborn children in Hungary has been fewer year- by-year than the number of deceases. Th e extent of natural decrease showed a rising trend, it was 33 thousand per year on the average in the 1990s, while after 2000, it amounted to more than 35 thousand. Th e fall in the population number due to natural decrease was somewhat moderated by the positive net international migration in the last two and a half decades. However, in the last decade, immigration surplus could compensate only less than half of the natural decrease.

Among counties with decreasing population, the lowest, 0.8 percent fall occurred in Hajdú-Bihar, while the highest one, 9.0 percent was observed in Békés county. Preliminary data 7 In the last ten years, the process of concentration of the country’s resident population in Central Hungary continued to strengthen: while in 2001 28.1 percent of the population lived in Budapest or in Pest county, this proportion
