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.

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.
93% chance that in 12 months at least one of the 2 districts serving this settlement is vacant; 1 are vacant today.
1 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.
6.4GP districts expected vacant in 12 months; 6 of 17 today
Expected: 1.0 districts falling vacant and 0.6 filled; the 90% band is 4.4–8.3. A forecast, not a promise: from the past risk of filled districts and the past refill pace of vacant ones.
Avoidable mortality in Rétsági járás: 435 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.

No staffed district has a surgery in this settlement — below are the districts that serve it, and where the nearest care is.
What is vacant
Vacant is not the same as unserved: substitution does not show in public data.
| NEAK code | Branch | District | Status | Since | Seat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 120090972 | GP | adult | persistently vacant | June 2019 (7 years) | Romhány |
“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.
No dental district's list names this settlement. Not because it has no care, but because for dentistry NEAK publishes only the district's seat, not the settlements it serves — the GP register carries them, the dental one does not. The actual district boundary is set by municipal decree, which is not published centrally in machine-readable form.
The nearest dental surgery is in Magyarnándor, 5 min by car. That is the nearest one, not necessarily the one the settlement officially belongs to.

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.
