About this data
Germany population and migration by state, covering demographic structures and net migration balances. The German federal states are compared on the level and age structure of the resident population alongside the natural balance of births and deaths. This annual dataset breaks down total arrivals, departures and migration balances, differentiating between interstate and international movements since 2025. The figures are published by the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis).
