News Article: Neuss's Per Capita Available Income and North Rhine-Westphalia Rankings
In the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), the city of Neuss found itself ranked 183rd out of 394 municipalities in 2019, with an average theoretical annual income of 24,170 euros. This ranking, however, does not provide a direct comparison of per capita income across all NRW municipalities.
The concept of available income, as used by statisticians, encompasses employee remuneration, income from self-employment, and assets. After deducting taxes, social security contributions, and including received social benefits, it serves as a measure of a municipality's population's financial situation. In 2019, the total available income in NRW amounted to approximately 414.3 billion euros.
The website www.vgrdl.de offers valuable insights into the calculations of available income, the sizes of available income in various municipalities, and the changes in available income from year to year. However, a precise ranking of NRW municipalities by per capita available income for 2019 is not directly provided in the search results.
Meerbusch in the Rhein district ranked third in per capita income in NRW in 2019, with 34,194 euros, while Schalksmühle in the Märkischer district followed closely behind with 37,686 euros. Attendorn in the Olpe district took the top spot, boasting a per capita income of 53,601 euros.
Notably, the cities of Straelen in the Kleve district and Hamm experienced the highest increases in available income compared to 2018, at +6.7 percent and +5.0 percent respectively. On the other hand, Schalksmühle and Attendorn saw the smallest increases, at +0.8 percent and -0.6 percent respectively.
The cities of Cologne and Düsseldorf held the highest income sums of all cities and municipalities in NRW, with 25.4 billion euros and 16.9 billion euros respectively.
Available income indirectly indicates local purchasing power, while regional price development is not considered. As such, it serves as an important indicator for making statements about the financial situation of municipalities.
For those seeking a more detailed ranking of municipalities in NRW by per capita available income in 2019, official economic or fiscal reports from NRW would be the most reliable source. These reports, published by the statistical office of North Rhine-Westphalia (IT.NRW), federal statistical agencies (Destatis), or specialized economic reports from NRW banking or research institutes, would provide the necessary data.
