ber of people obliged to move, but also on the challenges and burdens it entails and, above all, where it leads them. Empirical, notably quantitative, findings on these questions, how -ever, are rare. This article presents such findings for the German capital. These are based on a representative survey on moves between 2013 and 2015 and show that the majority of displaced tenants strive to find a new flat near their old one and for the most part succeed. It also shows that they have to make a much greater effort to find a new flat than those who have not been displaced. A detailed, spatially explicit analysis of where respondents moved to also indicates that some displaced tenants feel forced to move to locations not of their preference, includ ing the outskirts of the city. That said, this only affected a comparatively small proportion of displaced tenants, at least in the period under review. It can be assumed, nonetheless, that with the further tightening of Berlin’s housing market in recent years, the problem of displacement to specific areas of the city is gaining substantial significance. In addition, there is evidence of exclusionary displacement, although this phenomenon was not the focus of the study: Low-income households in search of housing are excluded from certain urban areas in Berlin due to high asking rents.
