YES.
When he/she says it's 4,404.....there's some strict German guidance on people moving in or leaving. Within 30 days, you are supposed to announce yourself to the city hall. This means a visit, with your phone and address.
Leaving the village....the national rule is that you announce your 'leaving' to the old village as well.
So you can generally go up and the mayor can x-number, and it's about a 99-percent chance of being correct.
Homeless folks affecting this? Well....if we had some....yeah, it'd affect the number. I'm pretty sure that Frankfurt would say that 2,000 homeless people are in the city and only half of them are officially registered.
This is the one absolute factor of Germany today....this list is maintained, and it leads to the voting situation. If you are registered....you don't get a letter, and you don't vote in local, state or federal elections.
