197. The joint proportion of the Greek Catholics and Greek Orthodox, whose prevailing majority were Hungarians and gipsies by nationality, was 62-4 percent while that of the presumably Hungarian Roman Catholics, Calvinists and Unitarians was 27 .2 percent. The number of the Lutherans was over that of the Saxons but the difference was smaller than the number of the Hungarian Lutherans while the number of those of the Israelite religion was equal to that of those of Jewish nationality. In total, the distribution by religions gives ground to the presumption that the number of the Hungarians was by 2-3 percent more, especially when the Greek Catholics and the Greek Orthodox of Hungarian mother tongue are also considered. Consequently, here the anti-Hungarian tendency of the population census carried out in the Bach-era can be established. Finally some more important demographic indicators from among the results of the population census. According to the data the male-female ratio changed in the following way (the 1786 data are presented for the sake of comparison): Year Number of Total Number of females males females per 1,000 males 1786 797,022 759,107 1,546,129 952 1850 1,026,378 1,035,267 2,061,645 1,009 The distribution by marital status was the following: Never married Married Windowed Total males females males females males females males females 563,247 506,975 429,746 434,712 33,385 93,680 1,026,378 1,035,267 Together: 1,070,122 864,458 127,065 2,061,645 Interesting is the higher number of married females which is explained by the dependents of the regular soldiers having been counted. The number of widowed females was significantly higher than that of the widowed males while number of never married males was by more than fifty thousand over that of the never married females. The data relating to migration do not point to any great flows, which would be comparable to those often mentioned in connection with Transylvania (though from former centuries): in total, 42, 198 foreigners and 30 ,371 persons absent were registered in the population census and, consequently, the de fact

o population of Transylvania was by 11 ,827 persons higher than its de jur

e population. The results of the animal census do not show a great number of animals. The number of cattle was over five times as high as that of the horses and while there were 1 .64 heads of cattle per family, in the case of the horses the respective value was only 0.3.
