People in the district of Leipzig have the highest purchasing power in Saxony. This is the result of an analysis by the Cologne Institute for Economic Research (IW), which calculated how much local people's income is actually worth.
The extremes are close together in the Free State: Leipzig itself has the lowest purchasing power right next door. The situation is similar in the second-placed district of Meißen and the neighboring state capital of Dresden in penultimate place. The Vogtland district only managed fourth place despite having the lowest price level in Germany.
