How we counted
The address register of the BEV gives every address, and each address counts once, however many flats it has. The drive follows the roads of OpenStreetMap between Stephansplatz and each address, at 85 % of each road's speed limit, or a typical speed for its type of road where the limit is missing from the map. The drive is for empty roads and leaves out the search for a parking space. Each town's figure is the median of its addresses. A town's distance is the middle distance of its addresses to Vienna's city border, as the crow flies. The ranking counts the towns with at least 60 addresses. The data is from 23 October 2026.
