Communities
Economy and development
The space is strongly oriented towards the adjacent Bavarian part of the Inn Valley. Kufstein, the capital of the district and the second largest city in Tyrol , has a dominant central function for the surrounding area, especially in administration, education and health and in trade and supply. The valley floor around Kufstein and Langkampfen has a strong industrial and commercial character, with production sites from companies such as Sandoz , Viking or Pirlo . Conversely, bathing lakes such as the Thiersee or the Kaisertal and the Kaisergebirge nature reserve (which takes up 12% of the total area of the planning area) form an important recreational area not only for the city, but also for nearby Bavaria. Tourism only plays a role in Thiersee and Kufstein. The Brenner traffic axis with the Inntal motorway (A 12) and the Lower Inn Valley railway is particularly important for the region .
Despite its central location on the traffic axis, the area is not one of the primary development regions in Tyrol, the population grew from 17,000 to 26,000 in 1961 to 2011, which is exactly the average for the whole of Tyrol (index 153 for these 50 years), and even slightly below that of the district (168). With almost 19,000 inhabitants (2015), Kufstein comprises 3 ⁄ 4 of the association's total population.
