Worms as an investment location for real estate
86,753 inhabitants (31.12.2024) and reliable demand in the Rhine corridor
Worms has an official population of 86,753 as of 31.12.2024, making it the sixth largest city in Rhineland-Palatinate, nestled between the strong Rhine-Main and Rhine-Neckar labor market regions - a stable order of magnitude that supports the continuous demand for housing in inner-city locations and locations close to amenities. State-wide, Rhineland-Palatinate continued its population growth in 2024 despite a slowdown in immigration, which structurally favors regional and medium-sized centers such as Worms. Urban statistics pages document the population structure and small-scale characteristics (e.g. by type of residence, nationality, age), which can be used for micro-location-sensitive product strategies.
Accessibility and public transport: VRN intervals, timetable change 15.06.2025 and regional connections
Worms is integrated into the Rhine-Neckar transport network; the VRN provides timetable information, fare hubs and service information - a reliable framework for commuter-oriented micro-locations at train stations and main axes. For the timetable change on 15.06.2025, there were adjustments in the Worms line bundle (including on lines 403, 406, 415, 435), which address service management and punctuality - relevant for tenant comfort and re-rentability along the corridors served. The VRN timetable information underlines the network stability and accessibility of the service throughout the day and week, which structurally supports city center/train station locations in Worms.
City center upgrade "Domquartier" (ISEK) as ESG and exit lever
The Rhineland-Palatinate Supervisory and Service Directorate has approved the "Domquartier" integrated urban development concept (ISEK): Market square, Stephansgasse, Neumarkt and Hagenstraße are to be better linked, greened and traffic-calmed on around 19ha in the historic center; in addition, the "Neusatzspielpark" is being created on the grounds of the Neusatzschule-a clear quality and frequency impulse for 1A/1B locations. The project is designed as an urban development measure until 2032, with total expenditure of around €23.5m and an initial €16.5m eligible for funding - a resilient funding framework that makes repositioning, first floor activation and energy modernization in the city centre easier to plan and more exit-proof. In total, the 86,753 inhabitants, the VRN development and the ISEK "Domquartier" provide a solid foundation for core investments in public transport/city-related properties and ESG-driven value-add strategies along the prioritized inner city axes.
