Abstract
This paper approaches the possibilities of researching regional demographic and economic differences in the Ottoman-controlled areas of the medieval Hungarian Kingdom proper in two very different settings. Firstly, the research options in the area of 16th-century dually-ruled Hungary in southeastern area between the Drava and the Danube is presented. This was the Habsburg-Ottoman border zone in this period. Then, the second section of the paper focuses on the case studies of the sub-provinces of Požega and Szeged and the possibilities of their comparison. Both of these sanjaks were positioned in the interior of the Ottoman territory and shared similarities, but were also very different in certain aspects, particularly the presence of Muslims. The data for this paper are provided by several Hungarian and, to a larger extent, Ottoman surveys, which are largely digitized. In the paper, the data on settlements, population, landholding and state income from taxes preserved in these sources was used to provide various indicators that can outline the possibilities for further research
