Where tenants get the most living space for money - rental prices in the Hesse comparison

rental prices in Kassel and North Hesse compared to other parts of Hesse

The current data from the State Statistical Office in Wiesbaden show that rental prices in Kassel and North Hesse are surprisingly low compared to other parts of Hesse. This is based on the results of the nationwide census survey 2022, which for the first time caught the average net rent.

In contrast to expensive cities such as Frankfurt, Darmstadt or Wiesbaden, housing costs in North Hesse are much more affordable. Kassel is almost half as high as Frankfurt, with rental prices in cities such as Hersfeld-Rotenburg, Schwalm-Eder and Waldeck-Frankenberg even lower. The housing costs in the Werra-Meißner-Kreis are particularly favorable with an average of 4.81 euros per square meter.

influence on the regional living situation

The low rental prices in Kassel and North Hesse are also reflected in the regional living situation. The average living space per tenant is significantly larger here than in more expensive areas such as the Rhine-Main area. The vacancy rates in particular show regional differences, with North Hessian counties such as the Werra-Meißner-Kreis have a higher vacancy rate than Frankfurt or the Main-Taunus district.

census as an instrument for data acquisition

The census serves as an instrument to record data on the living and life situation of the population, and a total of 1.96 million owners and property managers were interviewed in Hesse. The results clearly show that rental prices in Kassel and North Hesse offer an attractive living alternative compared to other regions of Hesse.
