What is the typical rent for homes in Leipzig?

Rents paid in Germany, from Statistisches Bundesamt. An official figure as of 15 May 2022.

An official average or median published by a statistics office or regulator, not individual sales.

€6.48 per m2 per month, median

In Leipzig the typical average net cold rent in the census was €6.48 per m2 a month (middle of the 1 km squares within 5 km of the centre; 10th-90th percentile €5.95 to €7.59), at the census of 15 May 2022. This is the rent in existing contracts, not an asking rent. Zensus 2022, Statistisches Bundesamt (Destatis); median calculated by ProofPrice from the published 1 km grid.

Reference period
census date 15 May 2022 (the period the publisher states for this figure)
Kind of figure
An official median published by Statistisches Bundesamt. It is passed on as published: no range of ours, and no count of records unless the publisher gives one.

Census snapshot of 15 May 2022: the average net cold rent (without heating and service charges) of rented dwellings in each 1 km square, all sizes and types together; rents have risen since. Median and 10th-90th percentile are calculated by ProofPrice over the squares within 5 km of the city centre, not weighted by the number of dwellings.

Figures as of
. This page is rebuilt when the daily price library is deployed.
How fresh the source is
Static: the census date is 15 May 2022 (published 2024); the answer states that date and is not updated
Limits
A census snapshot of 15 May 2022, so rents have risen since: treat it as a level and a spread between districts, not today's rent. It is the average over ALL rented dwellings (existing contracts, not new lettings), all sizes and types together, so no filter by bedrooms or house type. Squares with too few rented dwellings are not published; squares marked unreliable (in brackets) are left out. The figure is the median of the square averages within a few kilometres of the city centre (not weighted by the number of dwellings), not the city's official average. No postcode level.
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
