Census Characteristics	2001
Title	Population census 2001
Census Agency	Hungarian Central Statistical Office
Population	Resident population of the census means the group of persons staying in fact on the place of the enumeration, those who live their everyday's life there, can be contacted on the given address, spend most of their night-rests on that place, go to work or to school from that place. As such, the place of the enumeration can be the person's registered permanent address, or his/her registered staying (temporary) address, or his/her not registered address, too. This grouping is basically in line with the concept of resident population of the 1990 census, where the intent for the official registration had been regarded as a matter of fact of a valid official registration.

Unit definitions	2001
Dwellings	The dwelling is a unit of places and rooms with specific functions (living rooms, cooking places, sanitary places etc.), generally technically (architecturally) connected to each other, intended for human accommodation, stay (home) or converted into dwelling and also suitable for living at present, which has a separate entrance from a public place, courtyard or from a collectively used place inside the building (staircase, corridor etc.).
Households	A (private) household is a group of persons living together in a common housing unit or in a part of it, bearing together, at least partly, the costs of living (i.e. daily expenses, meals). Persons living in the same dwelling but on the basis of independent tenure status, are not considered as persons living in the same household even if the above conditions are fulfilled. Consequently, owners or tenants (partner tenants) do not form a common household with their subtenant, night-lodger, the former persons (the members of a family, if so) always are grouped as an independent household.
