Details

A dataset with information on the region, district and municipality of a ZIP code is available on the government's open data portal, but this dataset does not contain geo-coordinates, https://www.data.gv.at/datensatz/?id=b9ba4b86-f04c-4a0e-96c4-188063e2668f. No dataset that meets the description of this survey appears to be publicly available at this point. Further observation: The Statistical Agency Austria holds related geospatial data. Apparently, data can be purchased from the agency. Data is available here on OpenGeoDB: http://www.datendieter.de/item/Postleitzahlen_Oesterreich. On the webpage of the Austrian Postal Service user can search for a postal code, but no geospatial information is provided. That geospatial data exist can be verified here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postleitzahl_%28%C3%96sterreich%29
