Bad Münstereifel: Income leader in the district of Euskirchen!

In the spa town of Bad Münstereifel, the citizens laugh at their financial success! According to a survey by the State Statistical Office IT.NRW from 2022, the highest income in the entire district of Euskirchen is achieved. With a primary income of 31,359 euros per capita, you are at the top, and after deduction of taxes and social security contributions, you have an impressive available income of 27,226 euros. This is the highest amount compared to the other ten municipalities in the circle!

Not all gold that shines! In Weilerswist, the residents earn an average of 33,353 euros, but according to taxes and levies, they only have an available income of 25,833 euros, which throws them back to fifth place. The loss of 7,520 euros is the highest in a circle - a shocking example that shows how strongly the tax burden hits the citizens. The causes are diverse: from the composition of income to advertising costs that influence the difference.

The losers: Euskirchen and Blankenheim

The city of Euskirchen does the worst. After deducting all taxes, the citizens only have a miserable income of 23,074 euros. Chamberlain Klaus Schmitz draws attention to the high number of social transfers that burden the city. In Blankenheim, too, it looks bleak with an available income of only 24,157 euros. Compared to Bad Münstereifel, this means a gap of 4,069 euros - an alarming gradient that makes the financial differences in the district of Euskirchen clear.

The statistics are clear: In 2022, citizens in the district of Euskirchen earned a total of 5.78 billion euros, which corresponds to an average of 29,480 euros per capita. However, the available income is 24,805 euros below the national average of North Rhine-Westphalia. A clear call for action for the municipalities to improve the financial situation of their citizens!
