About this chart

Hungary's population peaked back in 1980, more than four decades before the latest estimate. The peak was about 10.7 million, up from 9.3 million in 1950, and stood at 10.5 million in 1975 and 10.2 million in 2000. The 2023 estimate of 9.7 million is only slightly above the 1950 level.

The UN medium projection continues the slide: about 9.5 million in 2030, 8.7 million in 2050, 7.9 million in 2075 and 7.5 million in 2100. Hungary's world rank has fallen from 36th in 1950 to 96th in 2023, and it is projected to rank 109th in 2050 and 112th in 2100.
