Rent: district medians of asking rents (new lettings, 2024), indexed to Q1 2026 using the Statistics Austria house-price index (+5.5%) — an honest orientation, not an official rent index. Purchase: the median of prices actually paid in 2025, from the land register (Statistics Austria), not indexed. Vienna has no free, legal live price feed; source and year are stated openly. Within a district prices vary widely by location, condition and build year. The Living Score itself is unaffected.
One big reason Vienna stays comparatively affordable is the Gemeindebau — around a quarter of all flats belong to the city, which holds rents down across the whole town.
