# Hungarian county code (`hu_county_code`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Two-digit number of a Hungarian county (megye) or the capital. The numbering depends on the publisher: the NEAK health insurance lists number the counties alphabetically (01 Baranya, 05 Csongrád-Csanád, 08 Hajdú-Bihar), while the KSH area codes put Budapest first. The county name is hu_county.
