Qualitative Info

There is some evidence that there is a regional segregation of migrant population. A major proportion of the population with migrant background lives in bigger cities. In Vienna one third of the population has a migration background. That is twice as high as the average proportion of migrants in other federal states. About 40 per cent of the migrant population lives in Vienna compared to 16 per cent of persons without migration background.

In 2008, in Vienna the highest proportion of migrants was in the 15th district (32.3 per cent) followed by the 2nd district (27.7 per cent), the 5th district (27.4 per cent) and the 20th district (27.1 per cent). The districts with the lowest share of migrants were the 23rd district (10.3 per cent), the 22nd district (10.6 per cent), the 21st district (12.4 per cent) and the 19th district (15.9 per cent)
