The **Hungary regional market index** lists the 19 Hungarian markets that meet the co-location
system's composition gates under the current 2026-08-07 dataset. Hungary publishes its entire
qualifying pool: all 19 markets that cleared a composition gate are in the published set, with
none held back by the 400-market continental cap.

## Coverage

No rank or score is published for any market in this table. Every market below qualifies under
the framework's Regional Market composition gate — a hypermarket anchor paired with at least
two of {hardware, price club, lifestyle, electronics, sport} across the market's co-location
clusters. Full methodology:
[[about-regional-markets-system|Regional Markets Intelligence System]].

The metropolitan reference point recorded for each market is the nearest major metropolitan
centre in the framework's continental reference set — a straight-line (crow-flies) distance
measurement, not a drive-time or commuting estimate. It is not a claim that the market
functions as a commuter suburb of that centre. Ten of Hungary's 19 reference points are
Budapest. The other nine all cross a border — three to Košice, Slovakia, two each to Timișoara,
Romania and Graz, Austria, and one each to Bratislava, Slovakia and Vienna, Austria. Nearly
half of Hungary's entries therefore reference a metropolitan centre outside the country, a
consequence of the framework's continental reference set rather than a claim about any real
commuting relationship. Hungary's median reference distance is 95 kilometres.

Catchment population is recorded for 3 of the 19 Hungarian markets in the current dataset
build, and absent for the rest. Consumer-spend coverage matches it market for market. These are
disclosed gaps in the underlying source data; a market without a figure is stated as such
rather than presented as zero.

## Cluster composition

The 19 markets carry 23 co-location clusters between them — 19 Tier 1 and four Tier 3. No
Hungarian market carries a Tier 2 cluster at all. Seventeen of the 19 carry at least one Tier 1
cluster, and two qualify on Tier 3 clusters alone.
