HousingCost of living A

Estimated advertised rents run lower in Diemeringen than in Bas-Rhin’s towns or across compared French towns: €9.04/m² a month

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

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.
