Demographics Of Hungary
demography, Demographic features of the population of Hungary include population density, Ethnic group, ethnicity, education level, health of the populace, economic status, religious affiliations and other aspects. Population Hungary's population has been slowly declining since 1980. The population composition at the foundation of Hungary (895) depends on the size of the arriving Hungarian population and the size of the Slavic (and Avars (Carpathians)#Collapse, remains of Avar-Slavic) population at the time. One source mentions 200,000 Slavs and 400,000 Hungarians, while other sources often don't give estimates for both, making comparison more difficult. The size of the Hungarian population around 895 is often estimated between 120,000 and 600,000, with a number of estimates in the 400-600,000 range.Edgar C.

Town With County Rights
A city with county rights (or urban county, Hungarian language, Hungarian: ''megyei jogú város'', MJV) is a level of administrative subdivision in Hungary. Since 1994 all county seats are automatically awarded this status, and between 2012–2022 this was the only way a city could earn county rights. All cities earned this status before 2012 have retained their status and there is no way to revoke the title by the law. From 2006 until 2022, there were 23 cities with county rights, and 25 since 1 May 2022. Before 1950, cities with former "municipal rights" ''(törvényhatósági jogú város)'' had a similar status as the present urban counties. Budapest is not considered an urban county and has a special ''capital city'' status among the other Hungarian cities. Every city with county rights is allowed to be subdivided into districts. The representative body is the General Assembly ''(közgyűlés)'' which elects with the County Assembly a council that takes care of different t ...
