Districts of Austria

Austria is divided into nine states. The states are subdivided into 80 politische Bezirke (political districts) and 15 Statutarstädte (statutory cities). These 95 units are further subdivided into Gemeinden (communes or municipalities). There were 2,354 commune-level entities in 2013, down from 2,359 in 1999. Here is a list of the districts and statutory cities of Austria.

  • Type: b = Politischer Bezirk (political district); s = Statutarstadt (statutory city).
  • HASC: Hierarchical administrative subdivision codes. The middle two letters identify the state. For key,
    see the States of Austria page.
  • AKZ: Autokennzeichen are the letter codes used on license plates to identify the district in which a car
    is registered. A few places have their own licence-issuing authorities, and thus use codes which differ
    from the rest of their district. Specifically, Schwechat has SW, although it's part of Wien Umgebung; the
    city of Leoben has LE, although it's part of Leoben; and Bad Aussee and Gröbming have BA and GB,
    respectively, although they are both part of Liezen.
  • GKZ: Gemeindekennziffer (commune code number) is a hierarchical numbering system for states,
    districts, and communes of Austria. Each commune can be represented by a five-digit number. The
    first digit represents a state, and is the same as the ISO 3166-2 code for the state. The first three
    digits represent a district, as shown in the table.
  • NUTS: Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (level 3); the letters AT should be prefixed to each
    three-digit code. See table below for key to codes.
  • Population: 2011-10-31 census from population registers.

 

NUTS codes were developed by Eurostat in order to report European statistics on the basis of a set of comparable regions. If these NUTS codes are truncated to two digits, they become level-2 NUTS codes, which represent an Austrian state. Truncated to one digit, they become level-1 NUTS codes, which represent a region (for a list of regions, see "Administrative Subdivisions of Countries"). Here is a list of all level-3 NUTS codes in Austria, with their names. Note that in Austria, NUTS level-1 and level-3 areas have no administrative significance.
