The average living space of all private households increased slightly and stood at 100.1 m2 in 2018. The average number of rooms (including kitchens from four square metres onward) was four rooms per dwelling and 1.8 rooms per person, respectively.

Dwellings of category C have almost vanished (0.2%), as well as substandard dwellings (equipment category D) with 1%.
Central heating systems represented the dominant type of heating (51%). In 2018, every fourth Austrian household (26%) was connected to long-distance heating (or used block heating), another 13% used single-storey or single-dwelling heating. The percentage of housing units heated by individual ovens and that without any heating, respectively, stood at 5%.
