In Saxony, there is one registered car for roughly every other resident—making Saxony the state with the lowest car density in Germany. As of January 1, there were approximately 544 passenger cars registered per 1,000 residents in the Free State, according to the Regional Atlas of Germany.
Compared to the previous year, this represented an increase of 0.3 percent, or two cars, as reported by the State Statistical Office. However, Saxony is well below the German average of 593 passenger cars per 1,000 residents. Only the city-states of Berlin (330), Bremen (427), and Hamburg (432) have fewer cars relative to their populations.
