The roofs above Süßenbrunn
Within 450 m of the centre, buildings carry around 1 hectares of roof that would be greenable by pitch — 31.1 % of the roof area there, calculated from the City of Vienna’s official roof model. On that area roughly 2,200 m³ of rain a year would stay up top instead of entering the sewer, by the model. The modelled heat index here is 37 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 →

Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Süßenbrunn sits at 9.0 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Excellent).
