#Lebenshaltung
Emanuel Boeminghaus 16h

3,8 Millionen Menschen können Strom oder Gas nicht rechtzeitig bezahlen. Trotz leicht gesunkener Energiepreise bleibt die finanzielle Belastung für viele Haushalte hoch. #Deutschland #Energie #Lebenshaltung #Destatis Zahlungsprobleme: Im Jahr 2025 lebten rund 3,8 Millionen Menschen in Haushalten mit Zahlungsrückständen bei Versorgungsbetrieben. Das entsprach 4,6 Prozent der Bevölkerung, nach 5,0 Prozent im Jahr 2024. Besonders betroffen waren Mieterhaushalte mit einem Anteil von 5,8 Prozent. Kostenbelastung: Die Wohnungsnebenkosten lagen im August 2026 um 3,1 Prozent über dem Vorjahresniveau und stiegen damit stärker als die Verbraucherpreise insgesamt mit 2,9 Prozent. Haushaltsenergie war zwar 0,7 Prozent günstiger als ein Jahr zuvor, lag laut Destatis aber weiterhin auf hohem Niveau. Die Zahlen zeigen, dass die finanzielle Belastung durch Wohnen und Energie für Millionen Menschen in Deutschland weiterhin erheblich ist. Vielen Dank für den wichtigen Hinweis!
