Speaking data on poverty in Hungary – we present it in an infographic

Recent statistics reveal that in 2025, 1.7 million Hungarians faced poverty or social exclusion, a decrease of 119,000 from the previous year. The satisfaction with household financial situations increased slightly to 6.3 on a scale of 0 to 10. The gap between the richest and poorest has reached unprecedented levels, with significant regional disparities noted. For instance, the relative income poverty rate rose in Northern Hungary, while improvements were seen in Southern Transdanubia and Western Transdanubia.
