Single-family homes are still very popular as a form of housing in Austria, but there has been a clear shift towards smaller household structures for the past several years. An average of 2.21 people lived in each household in 2024. This trend seems set to continue; the number of private households will grow to 4.69 million by 2060 according to forecasts from Statistik Austria, 42.2 of which will be single-person households. These changes and pressing climate issues call for realignment in urban planning.
There were around 971,716 private households in Austria’s capital in 2024 with an average household size of just 2.04 people. The ongoing trend towards shrinking households espe- cially affects Vienna, leading to a growing need for new living space to be covered by increased construction activity.
