Forty years later, the town seems to differ little in size or aspect. In fact, an aerial or satellite view of the region shows little difference from photographs taken in 1962 to showcase the success of the government's collectivization programs. Modern amenities abound by comparison; there was only one car in Ujkigyos in 1968. But the town has grown little because many of the young people leave to seek their fortunes in the larger cities such as Szeged and Budapest.
