Enhanced Address Data for Austria Now Available
We have released an updated version of our Austrian address dataset that provides broader coverage, more granular detail, and more frequent updates. This release incorporates the latest data from Austria’s official Adressregister, maintained by the Bundesamt für Eich- und Vermessungswesen (BEV).
Expanded Coverage
The dataset now includes a larger number of address records across Austria. This improvement ensures more complete representation of both densely populated areas and smaller rural communities. The increased volume of addresses helps reduce gaps in validation, lookup, and geocoding workflows.
Sub-Building Information
The new release adds sub-building data where available. This includes additional detail for structures containing multiple units or addressable spaces. Providing this information improves accuracy for multi-tenant buildings, businesses within shared locations, and any application requiring more precise address resolution.
Inclusion of Hofnamen
In rural regions of Austria, properties are often identified by Hofnamen—traditional farm or estate names. The updated dataset now includes these names, offering better support for rural addressing and improving match rates for locations where a Hofname is more commonly used than a street-number combination.
Cadastral and Property-Level Attributes
Additional cadastral information has been incorporated to help tie addresses to property parcels. These attributes support use cases related to mapping, land records, utilities, and other scenarios where address-to-parcel clarity is important.
More Timely Data Updates
This update also improves the freshness of the Austrian dataset. We now align with BEV’s semi-annual release schedule, resulting in more up-to-date information on new developments, building changes, and municipal updates. More frequent updates help ensure the data remains accurate for operational and analytical use.
Summary
These enhancements provide broader coverage, better granularity, and more current data for Austria. The additions of sub-building information, Hofnamen, and cadastral attributes strengthen address precision and improve performance across validation, search, and geospatial use cases.
