Frequently asked about Kagran
What is it like to live in Kagran?
Kagran reaches a Living Score of 75 out of 100 (Good place to live). It is strongest on Affordability (Excellent), followed by Public transport; Safety is more of a trade-off. The score combines six dimensions from open data (City of Vienna OGD, OpenStreetMap, Wiener Linien, Statistics Austria).
Where is Kagran?
Kagran is in Vienna's 22nd district (Donaustadt), postal code 1220.
How safe is Kagran?
Safety in Kagran: Good (7.3/10), based on official police crime statistics. A non-binding orientation value for the area, not a statement about any single address.
Is Kagran dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Kagran sits at 7.3 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Good). One thing worth knowing when reading such figures: crime statistics count offences where they HAPPEN, not where those affected live. 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.
How good is public transport in Kagran?
Public transport in Kagran: Excellent (8.8/10) – based on proximity to metro, tram and bus (Wiener Linien).
Is Kagran noisy?
Quiet in Kagran: Good (7.8/10), based on traffic-noise exposure. The noise sits at the edge along Donaustadtstraße — away from it you notice little. Right there you raise your voice to talk, and a phone call on the pavement gets tiring (calculated above 70 dB by day). At night it calms down noticeably — the level drops below the threshold at which mapping begins. The busiest named axes nearby, by official annual traffic volume: Donaustadtstraße (~22,377/day), Wagramer Straße (~21,372/day), Czernetzplatz (~19,194/day).
How hot does Kagran get in summer?
In summer Kagran is rather warm — about the Vienna average. Heat index 57 of 100 (Vienna average 57), modelled. Dense, enclosed building form stores the day's heat and releases it slowly at night; there is little green to cool it. This is a MODELLED index (from building form, density, green space, street trees, water and elevation, checked against the City of Vienna's climate analysis map), not a measured temperature and not a count of hot days. Within one area it varies a lot: a green courtyard and a treeless street a few metres apart are not the same place.
How green is Kagran?
Green space in Kagran: Excellent (8.0/10). Parks and greenery shape everyday life here.
Who is Kagran a good fit for?
Most of all for people who value good value for money and short trips by public transport. Less ideal if a safe area is at the very top of your list — that's the trade-off here.
Is Kagran expensive?
Guide prices for Kagran: rent around €14/m², buying around €5,500/m² (indexed orientation). Value for money in the Living Score: Excellent.
