The newest values of HCCI IEER’s District Development Index (DDI) give us a new picture this year about development differences in the 174 districts of Hungary and highlight what changes have occurred in the course of the last two years.

The data shows that the most developed district outside of Budapest and its agglomeration can be found almost exclusively in Western and Central Transdanubia (Győr, Mosonmagyaróvár, Tata, Veszprém) and beside these only the districts of Szeged and Eger made it to the most developed top 20. The least developed districts are mostly in Northern Hungary and in the Northern Great Plains. Some of the districts in Transdanubia are also among the least developed (Tab, Barcs, Sárbogárd, Devecser) which indicates that among the regions of Hungary Transdanubia has the biggest internal disparities.
