Austrian demographic and birth rate trends

Overview

Demographic data from Austria highlights various population trends. In the states of Vorarlberg and Salzburg, significant portions of the population possess migration backgrounds, with Vorarlberg seeing a slight decrease to 28.6% in 2025. Nationally, population growth is driven primarily by immigration, as deaths have exceeded births since 2020.

Additionally, seasonal fluctuations in birth rates have been observed. Data indicates a significant spike in births during late September, specifically peaking around September 26th. Demographers suggest these peaks are linked to increased leisure time during the Christmas holiday season nine months prior.
