Population figures prior to 1752 can only be estimated, since they can be derived either from tax or household registers—based on an assumed household size of 5 people—or because no simultaneous censuses for both cities are available for the period following the founding of Neustadt. Regular population censuses do not exist until 1752.

1) Unlike in census years, these figures for non-census years are derived exclusively from the resident registration system. In that register, religious affiliation is recorded only for individuals whose religious or faith-based organization, as a public-law corporation, collects church tax (this is not the case, for example, with the Muslim religious community and the Protestant free churches; the latter had a total of 527 members in Erlangen as of the 1987 census.

2) Total number of members of Protestant churches whose church taxes are administered by the tax authorities. The following religious codes are included: Protestant (ev), Reformed Church (rf), Evangelical Lutheran Church (lt), and French Reformed Church (fr). Protestant free churches are not included.
