The income gap you would expect between former East and West Berlin has essentially closed, and on our data the East average even edges slightly ahead. The divide survives instead in new construction and in where the international population lives.

On a Friday night the centre of gravity is Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg: it tops our Urban & Social score at 8.8 and packs more venues per resident than anywhere else. Neukölln is the challenger, and Mitte's bigger raw counts are mostly tourists.

Across Berlin's Bezirke, the land reference value runs from about €383 per square metre in Spandau to about €2,733 in Mitte, a gap of roughly seven times. The split tracks how central a district is, not the old East/West border.
