Qualitative Info |
In 2010 and 2011, persons with a migration background had less housing space at their disposal than the average population. Compared to an average living space of 44 square metres per person in 2011 (43 square meters in 2010), persons with migration background were living on 31 square metres per person (in 2010: 31 square meters). EU-citizens had approximately 48 square meters (in 2010: 47 square meters) at their disposals, migrants from the former Yugoslavia lived in about 26 square meters and migrants of Turkish descent were worst off with only 21 square metres per person in both years. In 2010 and 2011 one per cent of persons without migration background lived in sub-standard flats, whereas also on average 1 per cent in 2011 and 2 per cent in 2010 of persons from EEA-countries, Switzerland and EU-countries, which entered the EU before 2004, lived in the same conditions. In 2011, 7 per cent (in 2010: 5 per cent) of migrants from Turkey and 4 per cent (in 2010: 5 per cent) of third-country citizens were inhabitants of sub-standard accommodations. The worst-off group were migrants from the former Yugoslavia. 8 per cent in 2011 and 9 per cent in 2010 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.
