Hannover Population Stats

My wife found a link to a Hannover population statistics pdf which makes interesting reading.

The statistics are unfortunately a couple of years old (2007) but I doubt too much has changed in 2 years.

Here some highlights…

  • 15% of the 507,981 population of Hannover do not hold a German ID/passport (ausländer)
  • The most foreigners in Hannover come from -  you guessed it – Turkey. With 19,042 equating to 3,7 % of the hannover population.
  • Followed by the Polish with 5,263
  • There were on 01.01.2007 a total of 522 Americans in Hannover
  • There were on 01.01.2007 a total of 903 Brits and 76 Irish in Hannover
  • The largest age group of foreigners in Hannover are between the ages of 27 and 44
  • The region with the highest density of foreigners is Linden-Süd (31.7%) followed closely by Hainholz (30.5%)
  • The region with the lowest density of foreigners is Wülferode (1.6 %) followed by Waldheim (3.3%)
  • The region with the highest ratio of foreign women compared to men is Waldheim (62.3%)
  • The highest ratio of foreign men can be found in Misburg-Süd (61.4%)

There are some other interesting demographics in the pdf and it well worth a look.

If anyone can find a more uptodate version please let me know.

Golly, I have met about 5 English (counting Welsh, Richard, of course) here in Hannover, were do the other 897 hang out? I guess I know where to find the 76 Irish, there are after all 3 Irish Pubs in the City Centre…Granted, I have not been to Linden-Süd or Hainholz (I think I drove through those areas once) yet, would they all be there? Is that the place to be then? And there I was standing around Steintor and other official party places, no wonder…

Interesting info! Is there any way to meet the other Americans besides at henry’s once a month? Any other groups out there. Would love to start one in Langenhagen.
