Nové Zámky District

Nové Zámky District (okres Nové Zámky) is a district in the Nitra Region of western Slovakia.

Note on population

The difference between the population numbers above and in the census (here and below) is that the population numbers above are mostly made up of permanent residents, etc.; and the census should indicate the place where people actually mainly live. For example, a student is a citizen of a village because he has permanent residence there (he lived there as a child and has parents), but most of the time he studies at a university in the city.

In year 2021 was 138,168 people by religion 89,079 from Roman Catholic Church, 30,142 from None, 10,339 from Not found out, 3244 from Calvinist Church, 1903 from Evangelical Church, 720 from Greek Catholic Church, 630 from Christian Congregations in Slovakia, 321 from Jehovah's Witnesses, 296 from Ad hoc movements, 279 from Other, 221 from Other and not ascertained christian church, 182 from Buddhism, 159 from Apostolic Church, 144 from Eastern Orthodox Church, 120 from Baptists Church, 92 from Islam, 57 from Paganism and natural spirituality, 57 from United Methodist Church, 55 from Jewish community, 43 from Old Catholic Church, 22 from Seventh-day Adventist Church, 21 from Hinduism, 14 from Church of the Brethren, 13 from Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 8 from Bahá'i Community, 6 from Czechoslovak Hussite Church and 1 from New Apostolic Church.
