Short Answer

Migrants from the former Yugoslavia and migrants of Turkish descent.

Qualitative Info

According to the statistical report "Migration & Integration" in 2010, persons with a migration background had less housing space at their disposal than the average population. Compared to an average living space of 43 square metres per person, persons with migration background were living on 31 square metres per person. EU-citizens had approximately 47 square meters at their disposals, migrants from the former Yugoslavia lived on about 26 square meters and migrants of Turkish descent were worst off with only 21 square metres per person.
Again for 2010, the publication reveals significant differences in housing quality standards. Whereas on average only 2 per cent of the population lived in sub-standard flats, the respective figure for first generation migrants amounted to 6 per cent.
