About
Documenting the infrastructure of the Austrian penal system, this resource provides an exhaustive list of correctional facilities. It pairs spatial coordinates with regional geodata to offer a detailed and up-to-date snapshot of the administrative landscape. By integrating prison locations with county-level statistics such as population counts and surface area measurements, the collection supports nuanced spatial analysis of the justice system within its demographic and geographical context.
Columns
- idx: A unique numerical index assigned to each correctional facility entry.
- name: The official name of the prison, recorded as identified by official justice sources.
- latitude: The geographical latitude coordinate for the prison facility.
- longitude: The geographical longitude coordinate for the prison facility.
Distribution
The data is provided in a CSV format titled
prisons_Austria_coordinates.csv with a file size of 1.75 kB and as a Geopackage (gpkg) file. It contains 28 valid records across 4 columns, demonstrating high integrity with 100% validity and no missing or mismatched values. The resource is maintained with an expected annual update frequency.Usage
This collection is ideal for geographic information systems (GIS) mapping and regional demographic studies. It can be used to visualise the density of correctional facilities relative to county populations or to conduct research into the social infrastructure of Austria. The geodata is also suitable for academic projects focusing on criminology, urban planning, or the spatial distribution of public services.
Coverage
The scope is national, encompassing the regional landscape of Austria as of 2023. Geographical coordinates for the facilities range from approximately 46.6° to 48.5° North and 9.5° to 16.5° East. While the prison locations are current to late 2023, the associated regional county data reflects the population and area statistics from 2022.

Who Can Use It
Social scientists can leverage these records to analyse the correlation between crime rates and regional demographics. Geographers may utilise the coordinates for detailed spatial visualisations and mapping of the Austrian justice system. Furthermore, policy makers and administrative researchers can use the county-level statistics for long-term infrastructure planning and resource allocation.
