About the 1828 land and property census of Hungary
This census survey was carried out in the Hungarian Kingdom, which at the time included the now Burgenland province of Austria, today's Slovakia, the Zakarpattia part of today's Ukraine, the SE counties of the Kingdom of Hungary, commonly known as the Banat (Krassó-Szörény, Temes and Torontál, now part of Romania and Serbia), Bács-Bodrog County (Batschka, with its parts now mostly in Serbia), Croatia, Slavonia and Szerém (Srijem) and modern Hungary. This census did not cover the Transylvania part of Hungary (now in Romania).
The contents of the original census sheets include the names of households, their professions, number of family members, various lands in their use and their production, livestock. Martha Remer Connor provides an index to the heads of households, extracted from the original census sheets. Armed with the index you can use the microfilms of the census with great efficiency!
The census sheets themselves have been microfilmed by the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS, the Mormons) and can be requested for research at any of the church's family history centers, worldwide. The entry in the Family History Library catalog. More information about the census is available on these pages: DVHH page, FEEFHS page.
Geographical coverage of the index
So far 25 volumes have been published and converted into the database. Some of the volumes contain more than one county. The list of processed counties (AT = Austria, SK = Slovakia, UA = Ukraine, RO = Romania, SR = Serbia, HR = Croatia, HU = Hungary):

How can the 1828 census database help you? Some examples of its use
Finding the location of the bride's family
When tracing back generations it happens rather often that the family sought after suddenly disappears from the registers of a given location. This may happen due to the fact that the bridegroom of the newly married couple brings her bride from a different town - their marriage takes place at the bride's domicile. To find out where she might have arrived from you could either start looking at marriage records in neighboring towns - and eventually strike it lucky. A much more convenient way is to look up the bride's surname in the 1828 census database and find her family, often instantly.
Overview of families with a certain surname
Keeping track of the various branches of a family sharing the same surname, let alone families with the same surnames with no apparent relation, might be a daunting task. Using the database one can get an idea about the number of actual families, households bearing any particular surname, at least for the 1820s.
