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
Residential land	70,682 ha
of which built-up	19.4 %
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).
