Where these estimates come from
The 2022 census recorded rents for every district by flat size and number of rooms. Those are existing leases, which are cheaper than new ones. For the 37 cities with listing data we can measure how much more new leases cost; for every other district we apply the typical gap in its federal state. The result is an estimate of today's for that kind of flat, not a list of real offers.
Use it to narrow down where to look, then check real listings. Heating and running costs come on top of the .
