Gründerzeit apartment houses shape the streetscape.
The six dimensions
Light & built form
Reinprechtsdorf is densely and tall built — light falls narrow between the facades, and the lanes turn shady earlier in the day. Measured at the Grätzl centre: about 12.8 hours of direct sun on the longest day, about 2.3 in December. How bright a single flat is comes down to floor, orientation and courtyard vs. street side — the measurement is for the Grätzl centre.

The roofs above Reinprechtsdorf
Within 450 m of the centre, buildings carry around 13 hectares of roof that would be greenable by pitch — 36.5 % of the roof area there, calculated from the City of Vienna’s official roof model. On that area roughly 23,900 m³ of rain a year would stay up top instead of entering the sewer, by the model. The modelled heat index here is 68 out of 100, and with 772 street trees in the same radius the neighbourhood sits below the median of 808 — three figures side by side, not a recommendation.
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 Reinprechtsdorf dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Reinprechtsdorf sits at 7.5 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 hot does Reinprechtsdorf get in summer?
In summer Reinprechtsdorf is heat-prone — warmer than the Vienna average. Heat index 68 of 100 (Vienna average 57), modelled.

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.
