Every year, a large number of people move to the city of Wolfsburg and just as many leave. Through population statistics, the city does know how many people move from A to B each year and also, for example, which age groups move. However, it knows little about their motives or why they migrate. Therefore, from October to December 2018, around 9,000 citizens were contacted who had moved to Wolfsburg in the past two years or who had left Wolfsburg for the surrounding area, the Hanover region or Berlin.

The city's main aim in conducting the survey was to gain new insights into Wolfsburg's housing market. To this end, respondents were asked, among other things, about the reasons for their move, their housing preferences and living conditions, and how the search for housing had progressed. The good response rate of 24% shows that there is still a great deal of interest among households that have moved away in developments in Wolfsburg.

Following a Europe-wide study, the IFAK Institute conducted a telephone-based citizen survey on the quality of life in German cities on behalf of the KOSIS "Urban Audit" community from October 2018 to January 2019.

A total of 24 German cities participated in this survey. The participating cities include Braunschweig, Dresden, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Ingolstadt, Nuremberg, Osnabrück, Stuttgart and Wolfsburg.

Once again, we would like to thank all respondents who, by taking part, have made an important contribution to improving the quality of life in Wolfsburg
