Advertised apartment rents in Diffembach-lès-Hellimer are estimated at €8.02/m² a month
There are no sale prices in Alsace and Moselle, which keep their own land register, so Diffembach-lès-Hellimer’s cost of living is graded on rent alone. We grade towns of 1,000 people or more; the figures published for Diffembach-lès-Hellimer are below.
Why there are no sale prices for Diffembach-lès-Hellimer
France publishes every property sale in a national file (DVF, “demandes de valeurs foncières”) except in Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin and Moselle, where sales are recorded in the Livre foncier, the land register kept by the local courts since German rule (1871–1918), and in Mayotte. So there is no sale price for Diffembach-lès-Hellimer or for any of the 211 towns of 2,500 or more in Alsace and Moselle, Strasbourg, Mulhouse and Metz among them. So there is no Housing page for Diffembach-lès-Hellimer.
The Cost of living Grade here uses the second input alone: a year’s estimated advertised rent on 70 m² against the area’s income. The other figures on this page (rents, property tax, who owns and who rents) are published as everywhere else.

Owners pay the taxe foncière on built property each year. The bill is the rate times half the home’s cadastral rental value (valeur locative cadastrale), a notional rent the tax office sets for each home; the intercommunality’s rate and the household-waste charge (TEOM) can add to it. Since 2021 the commune’s rate includes the share the département used to levy.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Prices. The median of the prices per m² of houses and apartments sold in Diffembach-lès-Hellimer over three years, from the public file of property sales (DVF). Half sold for more, half for less. We show a median only where 30 or more homes sold, and never an individual sale: the decree that publishes DVF forbids it.
- Rents. The Housing Ministry predicts a rent per m² for every commune from online listings, charges included. It is an estimate of asking rents, not of rents tenants actually pay.
- Income. The median annual income per consumption unit: disposable income after taxes and benefits, divided by the household’s consumption units. It is not a household’s income. We use the intercommunality’s, the area people live and work across; the four island communes with no intercommunality use their own.
- Property tax. A rate, shown and never graded: what owners pay depends on each home’s cadastral rental value, which isn’t published.
