Where it is
Hungary is grouped in Central Europe, within Roam’s Europe region. Its land-border list includes 7 countries in this atlas: Austria, Croatia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine. It is landlocked.
Hungary has a recorded area of 93,028 square kilometres. Among the 6 countries assigned to Central Europe in this dataset, it ranks 2 by area, from largest to smallest. Poland is immediately above it in that ordering, at 312,679 km². Austria is immediately below it, at 83,871 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 9,514,251 people for Hungary in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 102 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Hungarian. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Hungarian Forint (HUF). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
