Last updated: November 2026
A neighbourhood (Grätzl) in Vienna's 10th district. Strongest on Green space and Affordability, while Air quality is more of a trade-off.
In short: Wienerberg, a neighbourhood in Favoriten (10th district), has a Living Score of 85 out of 100 (Vienna Living Map, as of November 2026). Strongest: Green space 9.0 and Affordability 8.8 out of 10, weakest Air quality 7.0. District asking rent: about €15/m² (median, carried forward).
At the Wienerberg you find plenty of green and quiet, almost a small world of its own above the city. The wide gardens and the pond shape a day that unfolds at ease. The centre is well connected, but evenings turn still quickly.
Social housing shapes the area — big courtyards, solid blocks.
This Grätzl is strongly shaped by the Gemeindebau — municipal housing estates from Red Vienna define many of its streets.
The six dimensions
Light & built form
Wienerberg is mid-density: open stretches alternate with tighter street blocks. The slope takes part of the low evening sun early. Measured at the Grätzl centre: about 11.9 hours of direct sun on the longest day, about 8 in December. Even the low winter sun gets through well here. 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 Wienerberg
Within 450 m of the centre, buildings carry around 7 hectares of roof that would be greenable by pitch — 70.5 % of the roof area there, calculated from the City of Vienna’s official roof model. On that area roughly 13,000 m³ of rain a year would stay up top instead of entering the sewer, by the model. The modelled heat index here is 46 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 Wienerberg dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Wienerberg sits at 7.8 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 Wienerberg?

Is Wienerberg noisy?

Right there, traffic drowns out a conversation with the window open (calculated above 75 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: Triester Straße (~58,251/day), Hertha-Firnberg-Straße (~50,252/day), Wienerbergstraße (~31,342/day).

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.
