A new issue of "Statistik aktuell" deals with the results of the referendum on the construction of the Stadt-Umland-Bahn (StUB). The referendum was held on June 9 together with the European elections. A total of 52.4 percent of voters voted in favor of the StUB being built on the basis of the existing plans (Photo: VAG/Felix)
The report examines voting behavior in the referendum as a function of social structure characteristics in the voting districts and correlates it with the results of the 2023 citizens' survey:
- Among other things, a correlation is found between voting behavior and the age of the population: the greater the proportion of young adults aged 18 to under 35 in the voting districts, the greater the proportion of StUB supporters. The higher the proportion of older people in a constituency, the lower the level of support.
- In conjunction with the results of the 2023 citizens' survey, there is also an interaction with mobility behavior: In the constituencies where cars are used more frequently, there are significantly lower approval ratings for the StUB. In contrast, the proportion of StUB supporters is above average in areas where the bus connection in the residential area also has high satisfaction ratings.
