Statistik Austria

What Statistik Austria does

Statistik Austria (legal name: Bundesanstalt Statistik Österreich) is Austria's legally mandated national statistical office, established under the Federal Statistics Act 2000 as a Bundesanstalt öffentlichen Rechts (Federal Institution under Public Law). Headquartered at Guglgasse 13 in Vienna with 501-1,000 employees, the agency compiles and publishes official statistics covering the labour market, population and society, energy and environment, research and innovation, industry and trade, agriculture, tourism and transport, and national economy and public finance. In 2025 it produced 472 publications and conducted 72 surveys. Its customer base spans federal, state, and local government bodies, academic researchers (served via the Center Wissenschaft & AMDC with Scientific Use Files and Safe Center access), enterprises requiring compliance and market data, and the general public.

The agency's technology stack centers on an R-based statistical production environment with proprietary R packages published on CRAN and GitHub (sdcMicro, sdcTable, simPop, VIM, x12, surveysd, STATcubeR) covering disclosure control, synthetic microdata, imputation, seasonal adjustment, and survey error estimation. Core products include the STATcube statistical database (free and subscription tiers), STATatlas interactive maps, the SDGatlas, Preisradar for food prices, and the Barometer dashboard, alongside citizen calculators (inflation, life expectancy, salary, value protection). The Innovations & Experimental Statistics programme integrates machine learning for small-area SDG estimation and mobile positioning data from A1 Telekom Austria for travel behavior calibration.

The institution is funded primarily through the Austrian federal budget, with secondary revenue from publication sales (one-time/licenses), STATcube database subscriptions (recurring), and custom special evaluations (professional services). Free open data access through data.statistik.gv.at supports public-good dissemination objectives. The operating model is sales-led with direct digital channels, e-commerce for publications, and self-serve survey portals. Marketing leverages organic social media, conferences, academic partnerships, and the agency's institutional credibility. Governance rests on dual leadership: DDr. Franz Haslauer as commercial Director General and Mag.a Manuela Lenk as statistical General Director, supported by an Economic Council (Wirtschaftsrat).

Core offering

Statistik Austria is Austria's official national statistical office that produces and publishes official statistics on the country's economy, society, demography, and environment. It operates a suite of statistical databases (STATcube), interactive mapping tools (STATatlas, SDGatlas), specialized calculators, and a publication program. It also conducts 72 annual surveys and offers subscription-based detailed data access plus custom statistical evaluations on request.

Product overview

Statistik Austria operates a broad portfolio of official statistics products and tools, best described as a platform-plus-multiple-independent-tools architecture rather than a single unified product. The core offerings include the STATcube statistical database (with free and subscription access tiers), the STATatlas interactive mapping platform, and the SDGatlas for Sustainable Development Goal indicators. A suite of online calculators serves citizens directly: the Personal Inflation Calculator, Life Expectancy Calculator, Salary Calculator, Value Protection Calculator, and Barometer for key indicators. The Preisradar provides food price monitoring. The Open Data Portal, Center for Science & AMDC (with Austrian Micro Data Center and Safe Center), and the Statistics Austria Portal for survey respondent login represent data access and enterprise service channels. The Innovations & Experimental Statistics programme covers machine learning, mobile positioning, scanner data, webscraping, and R package development. The STATjournal is the periodic analytical publication, and publications (print and PDF) round out the offering. These products are delivered as separate web-based tools with distinct URLs and user interfaces, unified by shared statistical content and data infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• Eurostat: Statistical office of the European Union that coordinates and harmonizes official statistics across member states including Austria. Operates at the supranational level, providing the European Statistical Monitor dashboard that Statistik Austria itself surfaces to Austrian users.
• U.S. Census Bureau: U.S. federal statistical agency responsible for decennial census and ongoing population/economic estimates. Operates at much larger scale but is structurally comparable as a federal statistics authority producing official statistics, economic indicators, and population data with similar publication cadence.

Direct peers

• Statistics Norway (SSB): Norway's national statistical office providing comparable official statistics. Operates similar online database, statistical atlas, and microdata access programs, and is part of the same Nordic-NSO methodological tradition that values alternative data integration.
• ISTAT (Istituto Nazionale di Statistica): Italy's national statistical office providing official statistics across all major domains, with comparable database (I.Stat), publication portfolio, and methodological scope. Sister ESS institution with similar respondent burden reduction and innovation programs.
• Destatis (Statistisches Bundesamt): Germany's federal statistical office, directly comparable in mandate, scope, and structure to Statistik Austria. Operates GENESIS-Online database (analog to STATcube), produces a similar multi-domain statistical portfolio, and faces identical sample-size and privacy challenges as a German-speaking peer NSO.
• INSEE (Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques): France's national statistical office producing official statistics across economic, demographic, and social domains. Comparable in scale (larger workforce) and product breadth, including similar database, publication, and open-data offerings.
• SCB (Statistikmyndigheten / Statistics Sweden): Sweden's national statistical office producing official statistics for Sweden's economy, society, and environment. Directly comparable mandate, scope, and product portfolio, including similar R-based methodological traditions and SDG monitoring programs.
• CBS (Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek): Netherlands' national statistical office, often cited as one of the most innovative EU NSOs with strong data integration and open-data practices. Operates comparable StatLine database and faces identical EU harmonization pressures as Statistik Austria.
• ONS (Office for National Statistics): United Kingdom's national statistical office producing comparable GDP, inflation, labour market, and population statistics. Larger scale with similar mandate of producing official independent statistics and managing alternative data sources for survey supplementation.

Others

• OECD Statistics Directorate: International organisation producing comparable cross-country economic and social statistics. Functions as a thematic peer in producing harmonized statistics, and as a coordinator that consumes national statistics (including Austria's) for international comparison products like the SDG dashboards Statistik Austria builds upon.
