Population development

The population development of the community of Innervillgraten in the late 19th century was below the average population growth of the district of Lienz or the federal state of Tyrol and also developed below average afterwards. Already between 1869 and 1900 Innervillgraten had to accept a decrease in the number of inhabitants of 13 percent, whereby in 1900 with 743 inhabitants a low was recorded for the first time. After that, the number of inhabitants stagnated at first, falling to only 705 people in 1923, the previous absolute low. Thereafter, the population rose continuously until 1981, with the community growing the most between 1923 and 1934. After a decline in population in the 1990s, the population stagnated. Innervillgraten has suffered from a strongly negative migration balance for decades . Whereas in the 1970s this could still be offset by a strongly positive birth balance, a growing negative migration balance and a positive birth balance that more than halved had a strongly negative effect on the population. In the 1990s, the negative balance of migration decreased, while the birth surplus increased again. This enabled the population to be kept practically. Since 2002, the municipality has recorded a negative balance of migration every year, while the birth balance has been mostly positive. However, this was also negative for three out of four years between 2009 and 2012.

In the municipality there are several renters of private rooms and holiday apartments as well as inns and pensions, but no hotel.
