Switzerland Quality-of-Life Guides

Looking for where to live in Switzerland, or simply trying to understand the quality of life of a particular commune? These guides analyze 2,134 communes across 9 dimensions — noise, air quality, public transport, taxation, sunshine, nature, education, healthcare, nightlife — using more than 40 official open datasets (FSO, geo.admin.ch, OpenStreetMap).

Two content types:

  • Profile guides: where to live in each Swiss metropolitan area based on your profile (family, young professional, retirement, nature).
  • Criterion analyses: a deep commune-by-commune look at each of the 9 dimensions across Switzerland's 14 main metropolitan areas.

All analyses build on the public VivaMap methodology and detailed data sources.
