[edit] Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics
In Austria, the areas belonging to NUTS 1 level are not governed or controlled by a specific national Entity. This division was only made with statistical aims. The three NUTS 1 regions of Austria, to which the nine states are grouped, are on a par with the States of Germany, as well as with Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the regions of England.
| Number | Name (German) | Corresponding States of Austria |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Eastern Austria (Ostösterreich) | Burgenland (1), Lower Austria (3), Vienna (9) |
| 2 | Southern Austria (Südösterreich) | Carinthia (2), Styria (6) |
| 3 | Western Austria (Westösterreich) | Upper Austria (4), Salzburg (5), Tyrol (7), Vorarlberg (8) |
