Of these, 609,033 live in the counties of Harghita, Covasna and Mureș, which taken together have a Hungarian majority (58%). The Hungarians in Székely Land therefore account for half (49.41%) of the Hungarians in Romania. When given the choice on the 2011 Romanian census between ethnically identifying as "Székely" or as "Hungarian", the overwhelming majority of the Székelys chose the latter – only 532 persons declared themselves as ethnic "Székely".
