Demographics Of Bad Kleinkirchheim
With a tiny minority of foreign people, mostly from Germany and Southeast Europe, Bad Kleinkirchheim is mostly home to Austrians. Spoken most often is German, then Serbian and Croatian. There are sizable Protestant and Orthodox minority, a tiny Muslim population, and some nonreligious people among the mostly Roman Catholic population.
Rather speaking to the rest of Carinthia and Austria, the municipality has a rather low population density. Notwithstanding this, Bad Kleinkirchheim’s population has increased steadily during the 20th century, with a brief dip brought on by emigration and losses from the mining of magnesite during World War I. Still, the regular transportation services that were introduced promoted population increase.
Historically rural, as tourism grew, the town saw major structural alterations. The employment in agriculture and forestry fell sharply, but the hotel sector expanded dramatically. The town heavily depends on tourism for economic activity and job prospects, as seen by the fact that the number of people working in the industry now about equals the local population.
