Indicator history

According to a resarch report from 2010[1], which is cited by the new national strategy for Roma inclusion[2], approx. 60% of the Roma population lives in the rural regions of the country, most of them in segregated residential areas, among inferior housing conditions. The estimated number of "ghettoized" settlements with Roma population is 100, while there are another 200 settlements where  "ghettoizing" processes seem to be irreversible. Most of the disadvantaged, ghettoized-ghettoizing settlements with Roma population are located in the North-Eastern and the South-Western regions of Hungary.
