| Qualitative Info |
There is no quantitative data on segregated settlements. According to the Federal Chancellery there are no segregated Roma settlements except for the one in Oberwart, which has however not been segregated by any legal provisions but which has resulted from historical developments. In Linz there is a settlement area that is primarily inhabited by Roma and Sinti, who after World War II were resettled there in communal buildings.
