The ID is a unique fingerprint that is calculated based on the values of all non-Fusionbase specific columns.

**Full name:** Development of the number of inhabitants over the last 10 years in % **Algorithm:** (E <current time> - E <initial time>) / E <initial time> x 100 **Note:** The change in population over the last 10 years is calculated. The population figures are based on the update of the population status of the federal and state levels as of the reference date 31.12. of the year. The update is based on the 1987 census (FRG) or 1981 (GDR), the 2011 Census, and the 2022 Census.

population_dev_10_years

**Full name:** Development of the number of inhabitants over the last 5 years in % **Algorithm:** (E <current time> - E <initial time>) / E <initial time> x 100 **Note:** The change in population over the last 5 years is calculated. The population figures are based on the update of the population status of the federal and state levels as of the reference date 31.12. of the year. The update is based on the 1987 census (FRG) or 1981 (GDR), the 2011 Census, and the 2022 Census.

population_dev_5_years

**Full name:** Total migration balance per 1,000 inhabitants **Algorithm:** (Moves in - Moves out <period>) / E <time> x 1,000 **Note:** The migration statistics cover migrations across municipal and district boundaries within the federal territory as well as across the borders of the federal territory. Moves within municipalities (local moves) are not considered. Only changes of the main residence are considered as migration in the aforementioned sense. Arrivals and departures are mainly determined using registration forms. The balances are formed from the arrivals and departures during the specified period and related to the end population of this period. The reliability of migration balances may be affected by underreporting in registrations and deregistrations. The population figures are based on the update of the population status of the federal and state levels as of the reference date 31.12. of the year. The update is based on the 1987 census (FRG) or 1981 (GDR), the 2011 Census, and the 2022 Census.

The dataset Population Development provides structured key figures on the dynamics of the population at the level of municipalities and postal code areas. It includes the percentage change in population over the last ten years and the last five years, as well as the total migration balance per 1000 inhabitants. This allows for the comparison of long-term and medium-term trends in population development and the classification of immigration and emigration. The data is suitable for urban and regional planning, site analysis, market and risk assessment, as well as for benchmarking between municipalities and postal code areas. By combining rates of change and migration balance, the dataset enables the identification of growing, stable, or shrinking areas and provides a reliable basis for decisions in administration, business, and research.
