North Alföld is not really, there is 2,5 million people in Budapest agglomeration and 3 million in Pest country + Budapest together. Almost every 3. hungarian live in this little area and in the capital:
Population of Jász Nagykun Szolnok is 380000, Hajdú-Bihar is half million, it's not much compared to Transdanubia.
Just some part of Hungary. Most hungarian gypsies live in North East (Borsod, Nógrád, Heves, Szabolcs), if we would cut this area the number of gypsies would be not much in Hungary. I can tell you this North East area is a totally different world inside Hungary especially Borsod. It's pure Balkan in negative way more than South Hungary, the crime rate is extremely high and the public safety is very low. The problem is the local hungarians adopted this gypsie mentality as well, many people have knife or baseball bat in the car, big gold necklaces agressive mentality, they also have very strong regional identity. Everyone calling Borsod just Mordor. There was a football or handball match with slovaks in Borsod many years ago and the slovak travel agency suggested it's not good idea to travet there because it's dangerous. It's a parody video how to survive in Borsod:
