The roofs above Hütteldorf
Within 450 m of the centre, buildings carry around 6 hectares of roof that would be greenable by pitch — 39.5 % of the roof area there, calculated from the City of Vienna’s official roof model. On that area roughly 11,200 m³ of rain a year would stay up top instead of entering the sewer, by the model. The modelled heat index here is 51 out of 100.
The radius is a fixed reference area, not a neighbourhood boundary, and the circles of adjacent neighbourhoods overlap — so these figures cannot be added up. Whether any of these roofs is already green is unknown to a geometry model; whether it carries the build-up is for a structural engineer to say. Geometry as of 2016. All districts compared →

Is Hütteldorf dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Hütteldorf sits at 8.5 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Excellent).

Districts with major stations, nightlife and many visitors therefore collect more reports without a residential street a few corners away being any different. Within a district, the gap between a busy hub and a quiet side street is usually larger than the gap between two districts.
