Austrian beer output per head per province in 1888

Another nifty title, don't you think?

I've managed to spin yet more thread from that tangled clump of numbers. This time adding population figures to come up with figures for beer output per head of population. I've found it very instructive.

I'm going to repeat the map of Autro-Hungarian provinces as otherwise the table won't much sense to most of you. Me, I'm becoming pointlessly familiar with the administrative divisions of the Empire.

Now the numbers:

Austrian beer output per head per province in 1888
Province	population	beer output	litres/head
Salzburg	169,500	299,968	176.97
Upper Austria	773,700	946,991	122.40
Lower Austria	2,552,400	2,609,744	102.25
Bohemia	5,757,800	5,487,030	95.30
Styria	1,261,000	660,141	52.35
Silesia	590,500	306,074	51.83
Moravia	2,212,000	1,085,076	49.05
Carinthia	357,300	141,212	39.52
Tirol und Vorarlberg	916,200	266,871	29.13
Galicia	6,370,800	708,373	11.12
Carniola	498,000	49,225	9.88
Bukovina	627,900	58,806	9.37
Hungary and Siebenbergen	14,715,900	490,831	3.34
Croatia and Slavonia	2,065,900	10,962	0.53
Kustenland	680,200	1,054	0.15
total Austria	41,466,600	13,142,429	31.69

Salzburg is the unexpected winner. Not because its beer output was huge, but because its population was small. The converse was true of Bohemia: it produced easily the most beer, but also had one of the largest populations. Something I noticed: the population of the Czech Republic is now scarcely great than in 1888. Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia come to about 8.5 million. The current population is about 10 million.

You can see beer production was ridiculously concentrated in the top left hand corner of the Empire. Basically the areas with a majority Czech- or German-speaking population. Not a shock, really, but it's always nice to have hard evidence.
