How we counted
The shares come from the commuter statistics of Statistik Austria (Abgestimmte Erwerbsstatistik) as of 31 October 2024. They count working residents at their place of residence, with Vienna as their place of work. Around Vienna covers the 352 towns of Lower Austria and Burgenland in the EU's functional urban area of Vienna, drawn from the towns where at least 15 % of the working residents commuted to Vienna. The rings use the median distance of a town's addresses to Vienna's city border. The trips by public transport come from the timetables of the Mobilitätsverbünde Österreich, as of 23 October 2026. The method explains each part.
