What does a 60 m² flat cost?

About €863 a month in cold rent, from the published average of 14.38 EUR/m²/month. Heating, water and operating charges come on top, and a specific flat can sit either side of an average.

How international is the population?

28.2% of residents hold a foreign nationality — 1,571 of 5,571 people. This counts nationality, not place of birth, so long-settled residents who naturalised are not in it.
