Which Frankfurt am Main population is this?

Frankfurt am Main city area (Eurostat)756,021 (2025) This figure
Metro population (city plus commuting zone)Not in our data yet

This is Eurostat's "city" area: the local administrative unit or units where most people live in the urban centre. It is a different definition from a metro area (a city plus its commuting zone). Municipal, greater-city and metro populations are different ways of defining an area, not a population time series. We have not linked a municipal or metro population to this page; adding one needs a verified area relationship and data approved for display.

About this page's data

Every figure on this page comes from Eurostat's City Statistics, the EU's official statistics for cities. National statistical offices supply most figures. This page lists 14 of the figures Eurostat publishes for the city of Frankfurt am Main; the unemployment rate and jobs figures are listed in full on their own page. Each figure carries its own year, and years differ, so the page is not a ranking or a like-for-like comparison with other cities.

Eurostat and the national statistical offices define the exact area of the city of Frankfurt am Main; this site does not yet publish a boundary map.

The page name is the label Eurostat uses for this area: Frankfurt am Main (Eurostat provider code DE005C).

Updated September 2026: we last refreshed these figures from Eurostat on 1 September 2026. Each one is the newest figure we can show for this area from that data, and each shows its own year. Reporting dates and availability vary by area and indicator.

Missing figures stay missing. We never fill a gap with a regional or national average. We plan to add which country the area is in and a map, climate and metropolitan-area population once each has passed its own source and rights review.
