Demographics of Austria

Uncommon card · No. 122065

Demographic features of the population of Austria include population density, ethnicity, education level, health of the populace, economic status, religious affiliations and other aspects of the population. According to the 2001 population census, 88.6% are native German speakers (96% Austro-Bavarian language and 4% Alemannic language) while the remaining 11.4% speak several minority languages. The non-German speakers of Austria can be divided into two groups: traditional minorities, who are related to territories formerly part of the Habsburg monarchy, and new minorities, resulting from recent immigration. Despite a low fertility rate recently making the natural change negative, the Austrian population keeps steadily increasing due to an immigration rate increase compensating for the low amount of births, and by 2023, Austria reached a population of 9 million people.
