Analysis# Hungary Population Analysis
Hungary's population of 9.56 million represents a significant demographic contraction, with a -2.76% decline over the past decade reflecting sustained emigration and below-replacement fertility rates. Ranked 95th globally, Hungary has lost approximately 270,000 residents since 2014, reversing the growth trajectory that peaked in the 1970s when the country experienced its strongest decade of expansion. The 64-year dataset (1960–2024) underscores a structural shift from post-war growth to late-stage population decline, positioning Hungary among Europe's most rapidly shrinking nations.
