Tyrol's growth wanks: Fewer new citizens than in two decades!

Landeck, Österreich - A severe decline in population growth is shown in Tyrol, and that makes you take notice! According to orf tirol the past year has brought the lowest increase in residents for more than two decades. While an increase of 4,000 people per year was often recorded in earlier years, in 2022 only 1,803 new Tyroleans completed. The minus in the Landeck district is particularly striking, where the population decreased by ten. However, the districts of Innsbruck-Land, Schwaz, Innsbruck-Stadt and Kufstein remained on the winning side and recorded the strongest growth.

Nevertheless, there are bright spots: East Tyrol was able to stop his population loss and won 184 new residents. The market town of Telfs was the fastest growing community, followed by Landeck and Schwaz. In contrast to this, there are worrying trends: Kirchberg in Tyrol has experienced the highest residents with a decline of 112 people. According to the preliminary data, a total of 777,773 people live in Tyrol, with 19 percent coming from abroad, especially from other EU countries.

economic aspects and pendulum behavior in Tirol

Another important factor is the labor market. As many employees in Tyrol as possible are still busy, especially in the Landeck district. Despite the demographic changes, there is a fairly stable labor market, as reports Statistics tirol . In 2022, 4,325 people worked in Landeck, the district itself recorded 18,777 employees. The number of commuters also remains constant, which speaks for the economic activity in the region.

The trends of demographic change in Tyrol raise questions that must be clarified in the following years. How will the population develop further and what measures have to be taken to compensate for the reduced increase?
