Geography

Seeham is located in the Salzburg Lake District, on the western shore of Lake Obertrum. The municipality is surrounded by gently rolling hills and natural woodlands, creating a scenic and tranquil setting that blends rural charm with lakeside beauty. The landscape is characterized by a harmonious interaction between nature and agriculture, with more than 80% of local farming certified as organic, contributing to Seeham's reputation as an "organic paradise." [3]

Demographics

As of 2025, Seeham has an estimated population of 2,035 residents, according to figures from Statistics Austria. [4] The municipality covers an area of 10.38 km², resulting in a population density of approximately 196 inhabitants per square kilometer. [4] Between 2021 and 2025, the population grew at an average annual rate of 1.3%, reflecting a modest but steady increase. [4]

The gender distribution in Seeham is relatively balanced, with 1,008 males (49.5%) and 1,027 females (50.5%). [4] The age structure indicates a mature and stable population: 17.7% are children under 18 years old, 62.2% are in the working-age group of 18 to 64, and 20.1% are seniors aged 65 and over. [4]

A large majority of the population (88.7%) hold Austrian citizenship. Citizens from other European Union countries, EFTA states, or the United Kingdom make up 9.4%, while 1.9% hold citizenship from non-European countries. [4] The figures for country of birth closely mirror the citizenship statistics, with 87.7% born in Austria, 8.9% born in other European Union, EFTA countries, or the United Kingdom, and 3.4% born outside of Europe. [4]

These figures suggest that while Seeham remains predominantly Austrian in its demographic makeup, it is also home to a small but notable international community, primarily from within Europe. [4]
