Last updated at 3/10/2026
The dataset Public Finances provides a compact overview of key financial metrics at the municipal level and enables reliable comparisons between regions. It includes expenditures for capital investments in euros per inhabitant, income tax in euros per inhabitant, trade tax in euros per inhabitant, key allocations in euros per inhabitant, tax revenues of municipalities and municipal associations in euros per inhabitant, municipal tax capacity in euros per inhabitant, value-added tax in euros per inhabitant, as well as allocations for investment promotion measures in euros per inhabitant. The values are consistently reported per capita, making them easily comparable between municipalities of different sizes. Available granularities are municipality and postal code, allowing for both administrative evaluations and small-scale analyses by postal code areas. The dataset is suitable for assessing tax revenue, financial capacity, investment capability, and dependency on allocations, for location and budget comparisons, as well as for monitoring and research in the field of municipal finances. Notes on proper use particularly concern the interpretation of per capita values, regional delineations, and possible differences between municipal and postal code levels.
