In light of the current societal changes – demographic aging, pluralization and destandardization of life courses, increasing childlessness and erosion of family networks, as well as rising regional mobility, to name just a few – the question arises as to what significance neighborhood and neighborly support have today within the structure of private social networks. To address this, the authors conducted a large-scale study in Nuremberg in 2017, focusing primarily on informal support patterns and their conditions. By linking survey data with small-scale aggregated administrative data, it was possible to examine attitudes towards and evaluations of neighborhoods, the patterns of provided and received private neighborly assistance, and the potential for neighborly support depending on various individual factors.
