Rent in Tyrol burden households: A look at the numbers

Rent in Tyrol burden households: A look at the numbers

In a new study by the GAW, it is obvious that the rental costs in Austria make a fifth of household income on average. This number has remained constant since 2018, which means that both income and rents have increased to a similar extent. However, the situation in Tyrol looks different, where rents take a significantly larger share of the income of households.

The increase in rents has led to many tenants in this region difficulties to meet their financial obligations. The GAW study shows that rental prices in Tyrol stand out from the nationwide average values, which is a direct burden for the population. Despite the general wage increases that have been achieved in many sectors in recent years, the pressure on the budget budgets in Tyrol has not dropped. So it has even become a challenge for the local people to finance their own four walls, while services and events are often visited with full legs.

The reality of rental prices in Tirol

The GAW study has made it clear that rents in Tyrol have increased disproportionately compared to wages. This in particular burdens young families and single parents, who often have to make do with a relatively low income. The analysis shows that on average a significant lack of available rental apartments is noticeable in relation to demand. This leads to a shortage that drives the prices further up.

For the Tyrolean, the search for an affordable apartment has long since become a painful affair. Many have to make compromises and look for refuge in less optimal residential areas, while others live in the surrounding communities, where prices are a little more moderate. The discrepancy between supply and demand has led to a spiral of price increases that make it difficult to keep up with the income.

The GAW study is another indication that it is time for political measures to counteract the increasing displacement that many people experience in Tyrol. Initiatives to create more living space can sometimes help relax the market. Housing is of central importance for the economic and social well -being of society in this region, since it not only promotes quality of life, but also attracts children and families.

This problem is also tightened by the increasing cost of living. Tenants can be found in a dilemma between higher prices for rents and other vital expenses, which leads to a tense relationship between quality of life and financial stability. The GAW study shows that without suitable measures, an increase in rental prices can continue to be expected, which Tyrol could make unaffordable for many people.

In this context, it is important that the effects of these rental price increases are not only viewed locally, but also at the social level. Access to living space must be guaranteed for all citizens so that social cohesion is not endangered.
