Everything public data tells about this settlement: whether it has a doctor, how far care is, whether a bus gets there, and where it stands in the national ranking.
Bar lengths are measured against the settlement's largest group.
Of a hundred residents, this many fall into each age group. Hover or click: the centre of the pie shows the exact number.
Source: KSH, 2022 census (CC BY 4.0). The shares above refer to the census population of 5,031; the 4,797 at the top of the page comes from KSH's latest gazetteer, so the two differ.
Income, work, births and deaths, moving away — the settlement beside its járás, its county and the median Hungarian settlement. These are the reasons a district is hard to fill, and the reasons people here die sooner.

● this settlement | járás | county | country
Settlement data of the 2022 KSH census. Digital skills show how far a phone consultation or an e-prescription can stand in for a surgery; a household of only the old has no one to drive a patient.
3 of the 4 serving districts are vacant today; it is near certain that one of them will still be vacant in a year.
15% chance that in 12 months at least one of the 2 districts serving this settlement is vacant.
2 of the serving districts are in the country's riskiest tenth.
A forecast, not a prophecy: from the past risk of filled districts and the past refill pace of vacant ones. It is about the settlement, never about a particular doctor.
12.1GP districts expected vacant in 12 months; 11 of 29 today
Expected: 1.5 districts falling vacant and 0.4 filled; the 90% band is 10.0–14.3. A forecast, not a promise: from the past risk of filled districts and the past refill pace of vacant ones.
Avoidable mortality in Mezőkovácsházai járás: 547 per 100,000 (2024); the rural median is 450.
This is a járás figure: NNGYK publishes no settlement-level avoidable mortality, because so few deaths cannot give a reliable rate. The járás's health data →
In a small settlement a few births or moves shift the rate a lot, so the vital statistics are four-year averages; for the smallest villages they still need reading with care.
Sources: KSH TIMEA (income from NAV data), KSH 2022 census, NFSZ settlement data, NNGYK mortality database, NEAK grant winners and monthly data; the forecast is our own calculation.
Exactly where they are: the staffed surgeries with the doctor's name, the pharmacies, and whatever else is in the settlement. The map loads only on a click, so the page stays readable at once.

The doctor's name comes from NEAK's register of contracted providers and is shown only for staffed districts. “Since” comes from our own archive (monthly NEAK snapshots kept since 2017-10), not from a start date NEAK publishes; no public source gives surgery hours.
What is vacant
Vacant is not the same as unserved: substitution does not show in public data.
| NEAK code | Branch | District | Status | Since | Seat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 040095001 | GP | children's | persistently vacant | April 2012 (14 years) | here |
| 040090004 | GP | adult | persistently vacant | July 2022 (4 years) | here |
| 040090002 | GP | adult | persistently vacant | January 2024 (2 years) | here |
“Since” is the first month on NEAK's vacancy list. A vacant district is never named with a doctor, and substitution does not show in public data.

On an average Wednesday there are 58 scheduled departures from the settlement, and 42 other settlements can be reached directly.
Trains are not in the data: MÁV's timetable is available only after registration. “No direct bus” does not mean there is no way to get there.

Ranked 1,268 highest of the country's 3,177 settlements on the composite care-risk index.
Where does this settlement stand?
The index is a weighted mean of eight public measures, from national percentiles. A comparison, not a verdict: a high value means several measures point the same way — not that there is no care. The method in detail.
Compared with the 2025-12 snapshot from our own archive.
We compare only what every month has data for: vacant and dissolved districts and changes of doctor. Driving times, bus access and the pharmacy network are not available back in time, so no change is claimed for them. At county level, turnover shows how often doctors change.
