the buildings. This means, that the increasingly significant proportion of old people living in old housing estates is a great challenge for the social-political leaders of a given distnct. (Ageing is getting more and more severe especially in somé old housing estates of Budapest.) People living in housing estates usually have higher educational attainment than those living in other areas. There are greater differences in this respect in county towns and in smaller towns than in Budapest. In housing estates the proportion of economically active and inactive population is approximately equal (48 and 52 percent, respectively). In other areas the proportion of economically active population is lower. The proportion of mtellectuals and manual workers among active earners living in housing estates hardly changed, whilst that of intellectuals among those living in other areas has increased significantly. One of the reasons of this phenomenon is that a part of those highly educated strata of intellectual occupations possessing the necessary financial means - those having striven for acquiring dwellings in housing estates earlier - has preferred dwellings built in the green beit and suburb of villás since the middle of the seventies. Parallel with this phenomenon, manual workers and large and underpnvileged families moved into dwellings in housing estates. Social and occupational composition of people living in housing estates varies greatly according to types of locality. In Budapest the processes mentioned earlier were stronger than in county towns and smaller towns. It is remarkable that the social-occupational composition of people living m housing estates built after 1990 is totally different írom that of people living in housing estates built earlier - because of the different forms and characteristics of these housing estates.
