Nuremberg (AP) - Regensburg in Bavaria is the city with the most single households in Germany.
This was the result of a study by the Society for Consumer Research (GfK) based in Nuremberg.
Nationwide, the share of single households is 41.8 percent.
The proportion of single-person households in Germany has been increasing for years.
Behind Regensburg follow Erlangen, Würzburg, Flensburg and the capital Berlin in places two to five.
The city of Regensburg, which has a population of 150,000, had already taken the top spot in recent years.
In 2020, only one person lived there in 57.3 percent of households.
The fewest single-person households in Germany were in the Straubing-Bogen district in Lower Bavaria last year, at 30.2 percent.
