Essen
Germany · 50 districts
Essen has 9 boroughs and 50 districts (Stadtteile). For each district we show the average net cold rent per m² (without heating and service charges) that tenants actually paid in May 2022, from the national census, across all rented flats. The north–south divide is clear: the green south along the Ruhr costs much more than the former mining north.
