Hungary
 
There are 20 REGIONS in Hungary, listed here. Note that the CITY codes listed below are independent of the region codes--they form two unrelated classifications. Although in principle each city can be mapped into a region, we have never seen such a mapping and do not know whether one exists.

The city codes shown below consist of the locality code (the first four digits from the standard classification of localities created by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office [Központi Statisztikai Hivatal. 1990. Területi Számjelrendszer 1990. Budapest: Statisztikai Kiadó Vállalat.]), together with an initial "3" to represent Hungary. There are 22 codes for Budapest, which correspond to the 22 Districts of Budapest. The list of codes is given twice, first in alphabetical order and then in numerical order.

The full standard classification of localities is a 38 digit code, as follows:

1-4 Code for locality
5-6 Code for county
7 Size of locality [codes used for RESSIZE1]

1 1-1,000
2 1,001 - 2,000
3 2,001 - 5,000
4 5,001 - 10,000
5 10,001 - 20,000
6 20,001 - 50,000
7 50,001 - 100,000
8 100,001+ (except Budapest)
9 Budapest

8-27 Name of locality
28 Urban hierarchy code

1 Budapest
2 Other city
3 Village

29-38 Population size

The file containing the full 38-digit code is maintained in the project archive as "hunabc.txt". A Hungarian language specification of the contents of the file (what is shown above in English) may be found in "hunabc.doc".
