The six dimensions
Light & built form
Salmannsdorf is low and openly built — plenty of free sky above the rooftops. Measured at the Grätzl centre: about 14.6 hours of direct sun on the longest day, about 7.5 in December. Even the low winter sun gets through well here. The evening sun stays long. How bright a single flat is comes down to floor, orientation and courtyard vs. street side — the measurement is for the Grätzl centre.

How safe is Salmannsdorf?

Is Salmannsdorf dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Salmannsdorf sits at 9.2 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Excellent). 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 Salmannsdorf get in summer?
In summer Salmannsdorf is cool — cooler than the Vienna average. Heat index 37 of 100 (Vienna average 57), modelled. Green cover, trees and open, low building form let the night cool down.
