1/3 of the housing stock in Vienna is social housing which belongs to and is managed by the city.
They offer low rents and therefore a large part of tenants dont compete on the private market, therefore pulling overall rents lower.
ChatGPT with no deeper diving thinks you are further off “”” Social/public rental makes up about 43% of the city’s housing stock; around half of that is city-owned public housing. The rest includes limited-profit housing associations and private housing.
“”” This compares with London around 20%, paris 24% and NYC 9%
So yeah that makes a huge difference…
