HOUSING MARKET
OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE IN 2019
AROUND 931,000 APARTMENTS IN VIENNA count as inhabited, with around 76 percent of households living in rented accommoda- tion – an extraordinary housing market compared to the other eight Austrian federal states. Of these 710,400 or so rented apartments, around 409,600 are owned by the City of Vienna or non-profit housing associations.
PEOPLE LIVING IN owner-occupied apartments occupy a roughly equal share in Vienna and Austria; this share is rather low compared to other forms of housing, while still remaining largely stable. Naturally, most Austrians prefer to live in single-family homes, and this is the main household form across the country – as opposed to Vienna, where this share of households is very low. ×
