Postcodes / Zipcodes map data
for Hungary

Postcodes, or zipcodes, are an important tool for geographic planning in Hungary. Originally developed to streamline postal delivery, postcodes are now commonly referred to as “the new geography”. They have evolved to become an integral part of the business planning process.

Postcodes / Zipcodes map data for Hungary

Postcodes are a simple but convenient way to locate customers, assets, competitors – in fact, anything with an address. Enriching your address data with coordinates is a process known as geocoding and is the first step in adding location intelligence to your data assets located in Hungary.

Postcode centroids (centre points) are suitable for coarse-level searches and geocoding, while postcode regions (polygons) can be highly effective for visualisation purposes.

We provide 4-digit Postcodes map data for Hungary, as both centroids and regions, with seamless transitions across borders with neighbouring countries. The data is available in all common GIS data formats.

Country Summary

A landlocked state situated in central Europe, Hungary shares borders with Ukraine, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria. Hungarian is the most widely spoken Uralic language in the world. The capital city is Budapest.
For centuries, Hungary was one of Europe’s superpowers. However, the immense political upheaval and uncertainty post World War I devastated Hungary, culminating in it becoming a Soviet satellite state after World War II, until independence in 1989.
It is now a unitary democratic parliamentary republic, and divided into nineteen counties, with Budapest remaining an independent area. It is an urbanised nation, with a quarter of the population living in the greater Budapest area.
The Hungarian economy is one of the fastest growing in Europe, with Budapest the primary hub. It has a significant service sector; of particular note are tourism and mobile technology. Industry remains important, especially pharmaceuticals, food processing and automotive. Agriculture still contributes to the economy.
Hungary has a culturally diverse heritage. It is a country of spa waters and is famous for its thermal baths. It has important influence in architecture, music, art, science and technology and sport. Its literature is gaining popularity in countries outside Hungary.
On the world stage it is a member of the United Nations, NATO, and the European Union.

The power of postcodes

Postcodes, or zipcodes if you prefer, are a powerful tool for geographic visualisation and analysis in Hungary. While primarily designed to help deliver the mail, their standardised nature makes them useful for locating assets. Given a reference data set of postcodes with coordinates, it is possible to take a database of addresses (say, customers) and use the postcode as a common link or join. This allows the address database to be enriched by coordinates – a process known as geocoding. While these coordinates are only approximate (the centroid or centre point of each postcode), they allow the addresses to now be placed on a map where geographic patterns, such as clusters, may be revealed.

Postcode regions are polygon shapes which capture all addresses with a same postcode. They are often irregular shapes and sometimes feature holes and enclaves. Despite this, it is possible to use GIS or mapping software to assign colour to these regions to form a thematic map, also known as a choropleth map. While some care is usually required to ensure that the visualisation is statistically valid, thematic maps are visually powerful and a great way to communicate a variable across a geographic area.

We provide 4-digit Postcodes map data for Hungary, as both centroids and regions data. Compatible postcodes / zipcodes data is also available for other countries, with seamless transitions across borders.
