THE POPULATION OF THE MILITARY FRONTIER 1831. RELIGIOUS STRUCTURE, NATALITY, MORTALITY AND NUPTIALITY

Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the 1831 census of the Military Frontier shows that in the western and eastern parts of the region, the main civilian population by religion was the orthodox one. According to statistical data, the whole Military Frontier show different patterns in natality, mortality and nuptiality The Transylvanian frontier was the only area with population growth. The Slavonian frontier lost 4,079 people alone (1.6% of the whole population). According to official data, no real epidemic occurred in this particular region (at the same time cholera was spreading over civilian Hungary). It is an interesting fact, that in the Varazdin and Slavonian frontier, the natality and mortality rates were not distributed among the different religious groups evenly. The mortality rates of the orthodox population were much higher (with natality rates lower at the same time). To some sources, it may be due to certain habits of the orthodox population that caused easier spreading of diseases, and resulted in high mortality.
