During the 2011 census, 89.4% of the residents identified as Hungarian, 8.1% as Roma, and 0.5% as Ukrainian (10.4% did not declare their ethnicity; the total sum may be higher than 100% due to dual identities).

Neighboring settlements
[edit]Neighboring settlements are: Fényeslitke to the northeast, Kisvárda to the south, Kékcse to the southwest, and Szabolcsveresmart to the northwest.
Among the important nearby settlements, Kisvárda is 2 kilometers away, Szabolcsveresmart is 11 kilometers away, Komoró is 7.5 kilometers away, Fényeslitke is 5 kilometers away, and Tuzsér is 12 kilometers away.
Access
[edit]The town is crossed by main road 4, making it the most important road access route from other parts of the country. However, the main road bypasses the inhabited areas, and only the road 3832, which runs between Kisvárda and Szabolcsveresmart, passes through the town center. It is also connected to Fényeslitke by road 3839 and intersects with road 4145.
Among the domestic railway lines, the town is located on the (Budapest–)Szolnok–Debrecen–Nyíregyháza–Záhony railway line on its eastern border. However, there is no railway station in the town; the nearest railway connections are the Kisvárda-Hármasút stop and Fényeslitke railway station, both located approximately 3-4 kilometers away from the center of Döge.
