ownership structure
09
The ownership structure on the Viennese housing market is unusual compared to Austria’s other eight federal states. Vienna has around 926,000 apartments considered occupied, with around 76 percent of house- holds in rented accommodation. Of these rental apart- ments, 43 percent are owned by the City of Vienna or non-profit housing associations, making an important contribution to social housing in Austria’s capital.
The percentage of owner-occupied apartments in Vienna and Austria is almost equal – however, in comparison to other types of housing, owner-occupied apartments are less common on the Viennese market. Single-family homes constitute the most popular form of housing in Austria but occupy rather a small proportion of housing options in Vienna due to the urban structure.
