Germans' Living Habits Explored
In the year 2024, Germany's population stood at 83.6 million, with an average age of 44.9 years. The largest groups in the population were those aged between 40 and 59 years, followed by those aged 65 and older, reflecting an aging population [1][3][4]. Life expectancy in Germany, while not directly mentioned in the sources, is typically around 80 years, consistent with OECD country averages.
The trend in Germany has been towards smaller households. As of 2023, there were 17.01 million one-person households and 4.94 million three-person households [1]. On average, an individual in Germany lives with another person in the same household, regardless of the type of household.
The average living space in Germany in 2024 was 94.4 square meters, although it's important to note that this figure does not specify whether it includes outdoor spaces [1]. More than half the population lives in apartments, with most of them renting, implying a significant rental market [1]. However, detailed data on average living space and rent costs would require further specific data beyond the current search results.
The average number of people living in a German household in 2024 was 3.4. The average living space in Germany in 2024 does not provide information on urban or rural areas. The article does not provide information on the breakdown of household types (single-person, couples, families with children, etc.) in Germany in 2024.
It's worth noting that for those born in 2024, the average life expectancy at birth is 83.5 years. Men born in 2024 have an average life expectancy of 78.9 years, which is about 4.6 years less than the average for all individuals. Women in Germany had an average age of 46.2 years in 2024, which is 2.7 years older than men (43.5 years).
The average German household in 2024, defined as a family living together in a shared residence, consisted of parents and children. Unfortunately, the article does not provide information on the average living space in 2024 for single-person households or large families.

- The average German household in 2024, defined as a family living together in a shared residence, typically consists of family dynamics, with parents and children, reflecting a lifestyle that values home-and-garden spaces.
- As more individuals in Germany live in smaller households, relationships and family-dynamics within these households can have a significant impact on home-and-garden lifestyle decisions, such as the size and location of a home.
