The spatial income pattern of Hungary significantly altered after the political transition. The change influenced the territorial characteristics of peripheral areas. The development of the formerly backward areas in Western Hungary was confirmed
by the investigation of the lowest tenth of the income rank analysed in the study. The paper points out that the appearance of new peripheral settlements were in connection with the structural crisis of the mining and heavy industrial areas of NE and SW Hungary
