Population development
The Völkermarkt district currently has 42,027 inhabitants (as of 2018). That is a decrease of around 1,500 inhabitants since 2001. This 3.5% decrease is significantly less than in the western districts of Carinthia. By 2030, the population is expected to decrease by a further 3.5%. One reason for this is the low birth rate: in 2017 there were 8.1 births per 1,000 inhabitants in the Völkermarkt district, 8.7 in Carinthia and 9.9 in Austria.
The average income is below average compared to Austria. It is about the same as Carinthia, but with a stronger upward trend.
The unemployment rate is at the same high level as Carinthia and above the Austrian average. While the proportion of long-term unemployed is above the Carinthian average and only approached the national average in 2017, youth unemployment is very low and continues to decline:

Agriculture and Forestry
The importance of agriculture is in the Carinthian average: The population of 15,140 cattle corresponds to 8.0% of the Carinthian population with 9.5% area. The share of alpine farming is very low .

Infrastructure / traffic
Although the district is close to the Carinthian central area Klagenfurt - Villach , the region is classified as peripheral.
- Railway : The railway line Klagenfurt - Dravograd - Maribor ( Slovenia ) runs right through the district with the junction to Wolfsberg in Bleiburg. This offers hourly rapid transit connections to Klagenfurt and Wolfsberg, but the district capital Völkermarkt has no rail connection. The Koralm Railway , which is currently under construction , will run through the district, but no stopping point for express trains is planned.
- Road : The main traffic artery is the Süd Autobahn , which runs right through the district and connects it well with Klagenfurt / Italy in the west and Graz / Vienna in the northeast. There are only regional connections to Slovenia in the south via the Seebergsattel and the border crossing at Bleiburg.
