Where do the Happiest Hungarians Live?

Here in this article, you can learn about the happiest and the unhappiest regions are in Hungary. Based on two surveys, a Hungarian and an international one, we can finally see some data on what makes a person happy in Hungary!

The World Happiness Report study:

Magyarorszagom.hu reports that there is a connection between the World Happiness Report’s study and Eötvös Loránd University’s study. The international survey included the individuals’ satisfaction with life, their emotional-, psychological-, social and spiritual welfare, but also the level of mental health. Data were gathered about the person’s sex, age group, family status, financial welfare, level of education and their profession.

Although Hungary is not in the top countries of the world in terms of the nation’s happiness, a constant growth is still visible in every single year.

According to the World Happiness Report, in 2010, Hungary used to be 110th out of 156 countries on the list. In 2013, the country took the 104th place. In 2016 Hungary was #91, in 2017 it was #75, and in 2018 Hungary settled on the list as the 69th happiest country in the world.

Studying the results it can be found out that the happiest group of people in Hungary are those who are living in Western Hungarian small villages; wealthy and gained diploma in higher education; are having 4 or more children in the family; aging 40 – 50 years; are women.
