Szentes, Csongrád - ESCAPE
The Szentes district (LAU1) is located in the Great Hungarian Plain. The area is characterised by traits of “inner peripherality” linked to its geographical position (in between two regional centres), and accessibility issues (the main railway lines and highways bypass the town). Shrinkage in the past decades has been driven primarily by legacy (demographic) effects; the ongoing high outmigration plays a secondary but still important role in population decline, with a negative migration balance particularly high among educated/skilled citizens.
