Bezirk and Ortsteil statistics

Amt für Statistik Berlin-Brandenburg (AfS). Most figures on this site come from the official Berlin statistics: population and households, age structure, the share of residents born abroad, the housing stock and the rental share, income, and registered businesses. These are published per Ortsteil and per planning area (LOR) and aggregated up to the twelve Bezirke and to Berlin as a whole.

Land values

The affordability figure uses the official Bodenrichtwert (BRW), the standard land reference value in euro per square metre set by Berlin’s valuation committee (Gutachterausschuss). It reflects land value, which sits below built dwelling prices, so read it as a relative affordability signal across Ortsteile rather than a purchase price.

Source: Bodenrichtwerte via the Berlin Geoportal (BORIS Berlin / FIS-Broker). Published under dl-de/by-2-0. Ortsteile without a published land value are shown without the figure rather than as zero.
