The publication "migration & integration" published by Statistics Austria reveals significant differences of living conditions between migrants and persons without migration background. In 2010, persons with a migration background not only had less housing space at their disposal than the average population, they also were significant differences in housing quality standards. Whereas on average only 2 per cent of the population lived in sub-standard flats, the respective figure for first generation migrants amounted to 6 per cent. The worst-off group were migrants from the former Yugoslavia. 9 per cent of this group lived in sub-standard flats. Statistics Austria also reported that migrants are living in considerable poorly equipped flats compared to those of persons without migration background.
