Checked: 2026-08-27 ## Method Every row is a published average net rent (nettokalt) observation measured in EUR/m²/month, ranked lowest first. The values were observed between 2021 and 2025. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify. ## Sources Répertoire des logements locatifs des bailleurs sociaux (RPLS) 2021 — données communales — https://static.data.gouv.fr/resources/repertoire-des-logements-locatifs-des-bailleurs-sociaux-rpls-2021/20230309-150841/rpls-2021.csv static.data.gouv.fr — https://static.data.gouv.fr/resources/carte-des-loyers-indicateurs-de-loyers-dannonce-par-commune-en-2025/20251211-145010/pred-app-mef-dhup.csv www.observatoires-des-loyers.org — https://www.observatoires-des-loyers.org/datagouv/2023/Base_OP_2023_L4200.zip www.observatoires-des-loyers.org — https://www.observatoires-des-loyers.org/datagouv/2025/Base_OP_2025_L3600.zip www.observatoires-des-loyers.org — https://www.observatoires-des-loyers.org/datagouv/2025/Base_OP_2025_L6100.zip www.observatoires-des-loyers.org — https://www.observatoires-des-loyers.org/datagouv/2025/Base_OP_2025_L7101.zip www.observatoires-des-loyers.org — https://www.observatoires-des-loyers.org/datagouv/2025/Base_OP_2025_L3001.zip www.observatoires-des-loyers.org — https://www.observatoires-des-loyers.org/datagouv/2025/Base_OP_2025_L7100.zip www.observatoires-des-loyers.org — https://www.observatoires-des-loyers.org/datagouv/2025/Base_OP_2025_L8200.zip ## Cite This citation identifies the ImmigrationDB compilation/page.
