No census was done here until 1930. What you refer on it, it's just tax contributors/families list. Besides that, the vast majority of romanian local natives whom had the privilege to be registred, had theire names "hungarised".
Sometimes, you have to digg a little deeper (than the volunteer written wikipedia) in order to make this kind of "historical" references...

As per the gypsies, prostitutes, poverty, i am pretty sure that you can find it in thousands of places in US...thus, some may not need to come all the way to Romania or Hungary for this...

Vlady,

If you dispute the fact that Oradea was 51% ethnic Hungarian as of the 1966 census, why don't you provide some facts and a source rather than just a rant with nothing to back your contention?
