Flemish Brabant: Key facts and figures for your real estate franchise

The province of Flemish Brabant is the smallest and at the same time the youngest of all Belgian provinces: It was created by the division of the old Brabant into the Francophone Walloon part in the south and the Dutch-speaking northern part of Flemish Brabant in 1995. Today, there are 1,146,175 people (as of January 1, 2019) spread across the province, more than 7,500 more than a year before. The positive migration balance, which has had a positive impact on Flemish Brabant during this period, both within Belgium and internationally, is a key factor in this growth. Due to the popularity of Flemish Brabant as a living environment and the resulting high demand, the prices for residential real estate have risen steadily. A single-family home costs on average 273,030 euros, making Flemish Brabant the most expensive province in the Flanders region. At the same time, the province's gross domestic product in 2015 was 29 percent above the EU average, with the unemployment rate below the national average of 4.7 percent.
