households in austria
Single-family homes are still highly popular as a form of housing in Austria, but there is also a definite shift towards smaller household structures with an average of 2.19 people per household in 2022. This trend seems set to continue; the number of private households will grow to 4.6 million by 2050 according to forecasts from Statistik Austria, 41.9% of which will be single- person households. These changes and pressing climate issues call for realignment in urban planning.
