Bavaria: apartment census in the census: warning letters threaten

Fürth (dpa / lby) - Anyone who has not yet submitted any data for the census of buildings and apartments in the 2022 census will now receive a reminder. The State Office for Statistics pointed this out on Wednesday in Fürth. 92 percent of the owners in Bavaria who were contacted had already answered the questions, it said. In order to get as complete a picture as possible, one is dependent on all the data. "It is extremely important for the quality of the results that all citizens surveyed take part and fill out the questionnaire," said Thomas Gößl, President of the State Office. The census is subject to a legal obligation to provide information. Anyone who does not participate risks a fine.

Since May, around 3.5 million home and building owners in the Free State have received mail to submit their data for the census. Questions were asked about the size, use and type of heating of the property, for example.
