Summary/Abstract: The initial results of the 2022 Serbian census came as a genuine shock to demographers,as they highlighted alarming trends of overall population decline and aging. This shock was evengreater and more unsettling within the Hungarian community of Vojvodina, which experienced asignificantly higher rate of population loss compared to national and provincial averages. By 2022,the number of Hungarians in Serbia and Vojvodina fell below 200,000 for the first time, markinga significant psychological threshold. The website of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbiahas since published more detailed data, which this study analyzes to provide a comprehensive overviewof the demographic situation of Hungarians in Vojvodina. The findings are compared withdata from previous population censuses.
