households in austria
The trend towards smaller households continues unabated despite the popularity of single-family homes in Austria: the average Austrian household had 2.19 members in 2021. The number of private households will reach 4.5 million in 2050 and the proportion of single-person households will increase to 41.5% by 2050 according to a forecast by Statistics Austria. This development combined with a looming climate crisis will make a new approach to urban development inevitable.
