Who can still afford to rent an apartment across Berlin?
The map shows how affordable rental offers are in Berlin neighbourhoods for selected essential workers. To refine the results, select an apartment size, the percentage of wage paid on rents and choose whether to include average costs for heating and other utilities. You can also enter your own income.
We consider 30 percent of net salary spent on rent as the housing affordability threshold. Data on rental offers for 2023–2024 are combined to smooth out trends. Neighbourhoods with limited data are shaded to indicate lower significance.
