Where is Graz quietest to live?

Official environmental noise map 2022 · evaluated per 250 m cell · Data as of: August 2026

Quiet is measurable. wohnwahn evaluated the official environmental noise map (road, motorway and rail) for every inhabited 250 m cell in Graz: 63% of residential spots are below 55 dB of traffic noise by day, 55% below 45 dB at night.

And because a district is not an address: the map below shows the exact spot, not the district average. One honest caveat: in Graz the strategic noise map covers the main traffic sources, not every side street, so "quiet" can also mean "not mapped": the noise layer on the search map shows per address what was measured.

The quiet map of Graz and surroundings

Green means quiet. Every square is an inhabited 250 m cell with the loudest official traffic-noise zone (road, motorway, rail).

Only inhabited cells are coloured (woods and fields are not). Tap the map: you’ll see the noise band for that exact spot, day and night.

Method: loudest official noise zone per inhabited 250 m cell, clipped to the real district boundary. Honest caveat: even Graz’s loudest district (Innere Stadt: 39% quiet spots) has calm courtyards, and quiet districts have loud main roads. The map above shows the exact spot. Prices: asking prices per m² (condos), IMMOXX-Markterhebung (Kauf) / immomarktanalyse.at (Miete), as of Juni 2026.

Quiet, yet in the middle of it

Quiet often reads as “remote”. These districts prove the opposite: share of residential cells that are below 55 dB AND within 25 minutes of Jakominiplatz by transit (matched per cell, not district averages).

St. Leonhard II.65%of residential spots are quiet and ≤ 25 min from Jakominiplatzmedian transit time ≈ 10 MinJakomini VI.58%of residential spots are quiet and ≤ 25 min from Jakominiplatzmedian transit time ≈ 10 MinGries V.49%of residential spots are quiet and ≤ 25 min from Jakominiplatzmedian transit time ≈ 12 Min

And outside Graz?

The share of quiet residential spots in the surrounding municipalities. One honest caveat: outside the Graz agglomeration the strategic noise map only covers major roads and railways, so “quiet” there can also mean “not mapped”. Local through-roads may be louder than the data shows.

How to spot a quiet flat

Courtyard beats street

In the same building, the courtyard side is often 10 to 15 dB quieter than the street side. Ask which way the bedroom faces: it matters more than the district.

Night counts differently

The official map has separate night values (Lnight). A road that is fine by day can be the reason you wake up at 5 a.m. Check both: the map above has a night toggle.

Rail is not road

Rail noise comes in intervals, road noise is constant. Many people sleep fine next to a rail line but not next to a four-lane road at the same dB level. Look at what the source is.

Check the exact address

On the wohnwahn search map, tap any point: “What’s here?” shows the official noise band, heat load, trees and travel times for that exact spot, before you book a viewing.

Frequently asked questions

Which is Graz’s quietest district?

By share of quiet residential spots it is Mariatrost (XI.): 81% of inhabited cells are below 55 dB of traffic noise by day, followed by Ries (79%) and Andritz (75%). Source: official environmental noise map, evaluated per 250 m cell.

How much of Graz is actually quiet?

63% of inhabited residential cells are below 55 dB by day, 55% below 45 dB at night. So quiet living in Graz is realistic, but it depends heavily on the exact spot.

What does “under 55 dB” mean?

55 dB (Lden, day-evening-night average) roughly corresponds to a calm side street. The strategic noise map only maps zones above 55 dB by day and 45 dB at night; anything below is not considered a relevant traffic noise load.

Are quiet districts badly connected?

No. St. Leonhard for example: 65% of its residential spots are quiet AND within 25 minutes of Jakominiplatz by transit. Quiet and central is rarer, but it exists, and the data shows where.

Where does the data come from and how current is it?

Strategic environmental noise map 2022 (laerminfo.at, Federal Ministry BMK, CC BY), the EU-wide standard that is renewed every five years. wohnwahn evaluates it per inhabited 250 m cell and refreshes the evaluation monthly (as of August 2026). Outside the Graz agglomeration only major traffic sources are mapped.
