Land use
The developed area of Donaustadt covers 25.0% (Vienna citywide: 33.32%) of the district area, but this is the second-lowest value of a municipality in Vienna. The developed area itself is distributed as 57.4% to 28.4% as residential versus other. Donaustadt thus has a very high proportion of residences. The proportion of land to the cultural, religious, sporting or public sector are dedicated, coincides with 6.0% share. Greenspaces in Donaustadt took a total share of 58.4%. Nearly 51.9% of that green space is accounted for by agricultural land, a value only Favoriten and Floridsdorf exceeded. The bulk of the remaining green areas account for 25.71% as forests (in Lobau) or 13.45% in meadows. With a share of 8.60% of the district area, surface waters take a very high priority in use. Here the waters of the Danube and its Bayou are crucial. The proportion of trafficked area at the district is 8.02%, with the second-lowest value in Vienna. [5]

History
The former villages of
The relatively young district (compared to the others, at least) was formed by a resolution of the Vienna Landtag on June 29, 1946. The resolution was supposed to restore the borders between Vienna and Lower Austria. However, due to the Allied occupation of Austria following the Second World War, the resolution could not immediately take effect. In 1954, the Soviet occupying authorities accepted the re-districting proposal, and the resolution took effect on July 2, 1954.

Population development
The district area, of Donaustadt, had the largest population growth of all districts in Vienna. Due to the large size of today's district area and the history of horticultural or agricultural, large areas for a progressive urbanization are available. The protection of the forested Lobau section, a large share of the district land area, has limited the level of urbanization at the same time. Even before incorporation, the autonomous communities still had very high growth rates. Between 1869 and the year 1910, the population had already increased 8-fold. Up to 1939 the strong growth had continued, doubling again. After a stagnation in the 1940s and 1950s, high growth recommenced in the 1960s, which until now, is among the highest of all municipal districts. Donaustadt reached a high growth rate, in 2006, with a population of 148,980 people, making it the district with the second largest population. Nevertheless, the district is still relatively sparsely populated. With 1,420 inhabitants per square kilometer (2005), only the district Hietzing was more sparsely populated.
Population structure
In Donaustadt, the population in 2005 was younger on average than in Vienna as a whole. 18.0% of the district's population were children under 15 years, the highest value in Vienna (citywide 14.6%). The proportion of the population from 15 to 59 years at 62.9% was similar to the citywide average (63.4%), while the proportion of people aged 60 years or more was among the lowest of the Vienna districts at 19.1% (Vienna: 22.0%). The gender distribution in the district area in 2001 was 47.8% men and 52.2% women, the number of married people stood at 43.9% compared to 41.2%, above the average of Vienna.[6][7]
Origin and language
The proportion of foreign district residents in 2005 was 9.7% (Vienna citywide: 18.7%). This was the second lowest value of a district of Vienna. As in the entire state, the proportion of foreigners, however, a growth in the 2001 figure, was at 7.4%. The highest proportion of foreigners in 2005 represented approximately 1.6% share of the district population as nationals from Serbia and Montenegro. Another 0.8% were Turkish, 0.8% Polish and 0.6% German citizens. In 2001, a total of 15.9% of the minority population was born in Austria. About 2.3% expressed as a language Serbian, 1.9% Turkish, and 1.1% Croatian.[6][8]
