The figures show a city’s foreign population compared to the foreign population of its Arrival City. The number of residents with a “migration background” is considerably higher than the foreign population figures. A migration background describes people who do not have German citizenship as well as German citizens who have a foreign parent.
Example: In Berlin-Neukölln, 21.1 percent of residents are foreigners, but double this amount of residents have a migration background (41.6 percent).
