Apartment Rents Have Continued to Rise

On average, the monthly rent with operating costs for an average apartment was 673.2 euros, although the actual amount varies depending on the size of the apartment, rental segment, rental duration, and location. The net rent, excluding operating costs, was 7.7 euros per square meter, which corresponds to an increase of 1.8 percent compared to the previous quarter and an inflation of 5.3 percent year-on-year. "This increase compared to the previous quarter is the strongest of the past four quarters," said Statistics Austria Director Manuela Lenk.

In the second quarter of 2025, around 1.6 million lived in a single-person household

In the second quarter of 2025, around 1.6 million people in Austria lived in a single-person household. The largest proportion of people living alone is in the age group over 60 years. They make up almost half of all single-person households with 47.5 percent. People under 30 years old live alone much less frequently - they make up only 11.7 percent of those living alone. As expected, young people living alone under 30 are more likely to rent than those living alone over 60 years. While around three-quarters of those under 30 live in rented accommodation, the proportion among those over 60 is around 42 percent.
