Worked out from these numbers

Arithmetic on the published values above. Each one names what it assumed.

What does a 60 m² flat cost?

About €774 a month in cold rent, from the published average of 12.9 EUR/m²/month. Heating, water and operating charges come on top, and a specific flat can sit either side of an average.

Uses a supplemental estimate, so treat it as indicative.

How international is the population?

0.6% of residents hold a foreign nationality — 962 people of 160,577 people. This counts nationality, not place of birth, so long-settled residents who naturalised are not in it.
