Frequently asked questions about Füllinsdorf

What's it like to live in Füllinsdorf? Resident impressions and quality of life
Füllinsdorf performs strongest on healthcare, with a score of 9.8, followed by education at 9.2. Noise levels are comparatively low at 8.6, and dining options score 8.3. By contrast, the weaker dimensions are taxation at 3, sunshine at 3.5, and transport at 4.9, while air quality sits at 5.2 and nature at 5.4. Neighboring communes include Giebenach, Arisdorf, and Augst. The main tradeoff is that residents gain access to strong healthcare and education alongside relatively quiet surroundings, but this comes with limited public transport, modest sunshine, and a less favorable tax position than some alternatives.
How sunny and clean is the air in Füllinsdorf?
With a sunshine score of just 3.5, Füllinsdorf ranks among the least sunny communes in the profile, so expect a relatively high number of overcast days. Air quality is moderate at 5.2, placing it mid-range rather than notably clean or polluted. By contrast, the commune's strongest dimensions lie elsewhere: healthcare scores 9.8 and education 9.2, both exceptional. Fiscal attractiveness is weak at 3.0, and transport sits at 4.9. Meanwhile, noise exposure is high at 8.6, which may partly reflect the Basel agglomeration location. The main tradeoff is clear: Füllinsdorf offers outstanding healthcare and education but limited sunshine, modest air quality, and weak fiscal appeal.
How well-connected is Füllinsdorf? Transport, schools, dining
Füllinsdorf’s most striking score is its healthcare access at 9.8, closely followed by education at 9.2. Dining is also strong at 8.3. By contrast, transport connectivity is weaker at 4.9, with fiscal attractiveness at 3.0 and sunshine at 3.5 among the lowest values. Noise sits at 8.6, air quality at 5.2, and nature at 5.4. Notably, the commune borders Giebenach, Arisdorf, and Augst, offering nearby connections within the Basel agglomeration. The main tradeoff is that Füllinsdorf provides excellent healthcare, education, and dining, but relatively limited transport links and low fiscal appeal, so residents may depend more on car travel or nearby hubs for commuting.
What are the neighboring communes of Füllinsdorf and how big is it?

That low score is the commune's weakest dimension, followed by ensoleillement at 3.5 and transport at 4.9. By contrast, healthcare stands out at 9.8, and education reaches 9.2, with noise at 8.6 and restaurants at 8.3 also scoring well. Air quality sits at 5.2 and nature at 5.4, both moderate.
