The Stuttgart Region covers only 10% of the area of the state of Baden-Württemberg (3,700 square kilometres) yet is inhabited by 25% of the population (2.5 million people). 17.5% of the region's citizens have a foreign passport. A good 30% of the gross regional product of the whole state is obtained from here. This illustrates that the region belongs to one of the strongest economic regions in Germany.
