Vienna is growing again. The population grew by 13,900 inhabitants in the previous year. The increase is due to immigration, the birth rate has remained almost the same.
Vienna’s population grew again somewhat more strongly last year: on January 1, the city counted around 1,935,000 inhabitants – 13,900 more in a year-on-year comparison. The increase is mainly due to immigration.
Vienna will have two million inhabitants in five years
19,400 babies saw the light of day in Vienna in 2021. The corona lockdowns have not triggered a baby boom in Vienna. The picture is different for deaths. They have increased significantly. This is largely due to Covid-19. Nevertheless, the city is growing. The population growth is mainly due to the influx from abroad. The immigrants come mainly from Syria, Germany, Afghanistan, and Romania. If the trend continues, Vienna will exceed the two-million-inhabitant mark in five years.
