Vienna surpasses asylum quota: 208 percent basic supply achieved!

Wien, Österreich - Vienna has fulfilled the defined quota for the care of refugees with impressive 208 percent. This is reported by the Kurier that also notes the high number can be attributed primarily to the subsidiary protection beneficiaries. This group, which enjoys temporary protection in Austria, is particularly well represented in Vienna. Of the around 68,000 people in basic care, around 31,000 lived in Vienna at the beginning of the year.

A closer look at the figures shows that in Vienna there are only 7.5 percent of the basic supplied asylum seekers. In Tyrol and Upper Austria, on the other hand, asylum seekers make up over 47 percent, while the city of Vienna with just 2,300 asylum seekers of almost 13,200 places only a small part across the country. On the other hand, around 11,000 out of 13,100 live in the federal capital among the subsidiary beneficiaries, which corresponds to a rate of 84 percent.

length of stay and structure of basic care

Compared to the average length of stay in other federal states, it shows that an average of 814 days are cared for in Vorarlberg, in Vienna there are 758 days. In Tyrol, on the other hand, the length of stay is only 201 days. It is particularly striking that asylum persons in Styria remain an average of 68 days, followed by Vienna with 65 days and Vorarlberg with 62 days. This gives a good insight into the regional differences and the supply situation in Austria.

If you take a closer look at the groups in basic care, you can see that displaced people from Ukraine form the largest group. In Burgenland, Ukrainians account for 1,434 of 1,890 beneficiaries, while three quarters of the beneficiaries come from Ukraine in Styria. In Vienna there are about 39 percent of the displaced persons, which corresponds to the average value in Austria.

accommodation situation in Vienna

Another interesting aspect is the accommodation of the refugees. In Vienna, 83 percent of the basic supplies are privately accommodated, which is noticeable compared to other federal states. While only a quarter of the refugees are privately accommodated in Upper Austria, only Lower Austria has similar quotas.

The current situation shows that Vienna is not only a center for refugees, but also has a good knack in processing asylum applications. Vienna has processed more asylum applications than originally planned, which tends to underpin the tendency to be positive asylum quota of 208 percent.
