Where do the wealthiest Hungarians live?

Budaörs is out of the league, Budajenő is in. The poorest people live in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu reports.
Purchasing power means the disposable income that remains after taxation. GfK Market Research agency examines the evolution of purchasing power of Hungary since 1998.
According to this year’s data, the difference between the purchasing power of the wealthiest and the poorest Hungarian regions has further increased. Those who live in the wealthiest towns manage their lives from 166.4% of the Hungarian average (more than eight thousand EUR yearly), while others living in the most deprived towns live from only 29% of the average (barely 1500 EUR).
As szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu writes, the purchasing power is the highest in Telki, Paks, Üröm, Budajenő, and Csopak.
Budajenő is new in the front line, while Budaörs got out of the top five. The 100 wealthiest towns can still be found in the middle of Hungary, surrounding the capital city, and in Northern Transdanubia; towns with the lowest purchasing power are in the Northeastern- and Southwestern parts of the country.
