Statistics: Construction and Housing

Notes:
The table is based on data as of December 31 and the current administrative boundaries.
Since the 2011 Building and Housing Census, the definition of “dwelling” has been defined differently than it was previously. A kitchen or a room with cooking facilities is no longer a mandatory component of a dwelling, unlike in the past, when such dwellings were not counted as dwellings but only as “other residential units” (particularly the case in dormitories). Therefore, dormitories and their dwellings are also included.
Rooms are defined as living rooms and bedrooms with an area of 6 m² or more, as well as all kitchens and, where applicable, commercially used rooms within the dwelling.
When calculating living space in m² per person, all individuals with their primary or secondary residence in Erlangen and their dwellings are included. Exception: Individuals in dormitories and their units there (or the former “other residential units”) are not included.

Notes:

• Data as of December 31
• The City of Erlangen has purchased the occupancy rights for a total of 598 privately financed apartments from the portfolio of GEWOBAU mbH for a period of 20 years; these are not included in the total number of public housing units. In the contractual agreement, the city stipulated a rent per square meter to GEWOBAU that is roughly based on the social housing rate. Although these “apartments with occupancy rights” are also allocated exclusively to tenants with a housing eligibility certificate, they are NOT considered social housing, as they are no longer subject to social rent controls under the Housing Promotion Act.
• Some of the “emergency housing units” intended to prevent homelessness are social housing units; however, they are not included in the reported inventory because they are not generally available to the public.
