Abstract	This study examines the spatial patterns of educational attainment in Hungary using settlement-level data from the 2022 census, focusing on individuals with at most lower secondary (ISCED 0-2) and tertiary education (ISCED 5-8). A two-stage analysis - bivariate choropleth map-ping and Optimised Hot Spot Analysis - revealed pronounced regional inequalities. A comparison of the 2011 and 2022 census data shows a nationwide decline in low attainment and growth in tertiary education, especially in urban areas. However, peripheral regions remain disadvantaged. These findings highlight the uneven spatial effects of educational expansion, reinforcing the need for territorial-specific education and development policies.
