Summary

Hungary in 2016

In 2016, Hungary had a total population of 9,810,532 people. A decade earlier, in 2006, the population was still 10,049,943; it has declined by 2.4% since.

Half of the population was younger than 42.3 years; 14.5% were children under 15 and 18.4% were 65 or older. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
