  1. What’s that 24,2% blob and what’s the reason?

    Edit: I read the disclaimer below, so it’s just changing their borders? That’s lame 🙁

  2. Any explanation for the big changes like hannovers sorroundings or the hesse-thuringia border clash?

  3. Germany is currently experiencing trends, which occured in France during the first half of the 20th century. In France, the population was consolidating along major infrastructure corridors, while the Diagonale du Vide emerged.

    This process is visible in the “Thüringer Städtekette”, which is where the largest cities in Thuringia are located.

    France was the first country in the world to experience the demographic transition during the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, which fostered the consolidation process showcased above as rural municipalities lost inhabitants. Thus making them even less attractice, which is why even more people left rural municipalities. It was a vicious circle, which accelerated each decade. During this time, the population growth rate was stabilized by immigration, e.g. by Italian immigrants in Côte d’Azur, which is one of the reasons why metropolitan areas and agglomerations grew faster than the country overall.

  4. The districts north and south of Berlin are interesting. No one in their sane mind would want to move there, but the situation in Berlin makes it necessary.

  5. Yes, and now we have “Blühende Landschaften” in the East, and massive housing issues in pretty much all cities of the former West.

  6. These figures are not correct. The Landkreis Traunstein for example had a rise, but here it is marked as having a decline.

  7. Damn, that looks like a map I created in the first week of GIS at university. That’s terrible

  8. Housing got cheaper in the red areas.

    Some people actually moved from the green areas to the red areas, because house purchase was cheaper in the red areas !

    The Green areas have more work ! But also more expensive !

  9. The red regions are stunningly those where the AfD party grew most popular.

  10. I’m a bit surprised that Münster, Cologne, Essen and Bochum are declining.
