Income development - purchasing power
GfK Purchasing Power is the market's recognized benchmark for determining consumption potential. It provides information on where the regions with the highest purchasing power are to be found. In simple terms, GfK Purchasing Power can be described as the total disposable income per region that can be spent on private consumption. It reflects the potential purchasing power of the people living in the region.
The disposable income of private households is calculated from the income earned through employment and assets plus state benefits such as child benefit, social benefits, etc. and less taxes or social security contributions paid. It therefore corresponds to the income that private households have left over for consumption and saving.
In Mayen-Koblenz, disposable income has risen continuously every year.
