List of towns in Romania by ethnic Hungarian population

List of towns in Romania by ethnic Hungarian population

Add article description


This list contains Romanian urban localities (municipalities or towns) in which ethnic Hungarians make up over 5% of the total population, according to the 2021 census, ordered by their percentage of the local population. (Note that ethnic data were unavailable for a certain percentage of residents counted during that census, and these were excluded from the total.) The Hungarians are an ethnic group which make up 6% of Romania's population, with nearly all living in Transylvania, where they make up 17.4% of the population.[1]

Hungarians form at least 5% of the population in 73 of Transylvania's 143 towns, accounting for 94.4% of the region's 465,970 urban Hungarians. There are numerous rural localities (communes and villages) which also have Hungarian populations exceeding 5% of the total population, even though those are not listed here. Conversely, Hungarian communities of at least a thousand people, but under the 5% threshold, exist in Timișoara (8313), Bistrița (2898), Hunedoara (1777), Lugoj (1357), Sibiu (1206) and Petroșani (1147), as well as in Bucharest (2168).

In localities where Hungarians make up more than 20% of the population, the Hungarian language can be used when addressing local authorities, while state-funded education and bilingual signs are also provided. This arrangement applies in many communes, as well as in thirty-one cities and towns.
