Figures & areas in Brandenburg
Calculated from the ALKIS data itself — not taken from official statistics.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Forest area | 1,048,262 ha |
| Buildings | 2,425,666 |

| Parcel size (median) | 1,425 m² |
“of which built-up” is the share of residential land covered by buildings — a measure of building density. The median tells how large a typical parcel is (historical partible inheritance makes parcels in the south-west much smaller than in the north-east).
