The estimated advertised rent of an apartment in Andlau is €12.94/m² a month

Rents are the ministry’s estimates of advertised rents, not rents actually paid.

Renting a house costs an estimated €9.52/m² a month. France’s property-sale records don’t cover Alsace and Moselle, which keep their own land register, so the Cost Grade here uses rent alone.
