Abstract: Ethnically mixed marriages represent a crucial element for ensuring cohesion within communities characterised by a high diversity. This paper aims to point out the main factors that influence the likelihood of mixed marriages in areas from Romania where Romanians and Hungarians cohabitate. In this respect, anonymised census microdata are used. The study reveals that educational attainment, age difference between spouses and the number of Hungarians within the locality/village or municipality might have a significant effect on the likelihood of a person to engage in an ethnically mixed marriage. The effects are slightly different for men and women.
