Austria's population was estimated to be approximately 8.9 million people. Austria is a relatively small country in terms of land area, and its population density is unevenly distributed. The majority of the population resides in urban areas and the eastern part of the country, with Vienna being the most populous city. Austria, like many other European countries, has experienced relatively low population growth in recent years. Birth rates have been relatively stable, and immigration has played a role in maintaining the population. Austria has a diverse population, with a mix of ethnic backgrounds. The majority of the population is of Austrian ethnicity, but there are also significant minority groups, including people of Turkish, Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian descent, among others. The official language of Austria is German. Austrian German is the variant of the German language spoken in Austria, and it has some regional variations and influences from neighbouring countries.
