The values were observed in 2022. 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 Destatis — Zensus 2022 Regionaltabelle Wohnungen (QMMIETE: durchschnittliche Nettokaltmiete je m²) — https://www.destatis.de/static/DE/zensus/gitterdaten/Regionaltabelle_Gebaeude_Wohnungen.xlsx ## Cite This citation identifies the ImmigrationDB compilation/page.
