Map of Nature & Green Spaces scores across the Frauenfeld area — top-ranked communes in green, weakest in red, per VivaMap methodology

Nature & Green Spaces combines vegetation cover (60%) and built-environment openness (40%). It measures both the presence of parks and forests and the airiness of the built fabric. A high score denotes a green, breathable setting.

On this criterion, the Frauenfeld area shows average results. The average score of 9.3/10, computed across 24 communes, sits on par with the national average (9.1/10). Scores span from 8.4/10 to 9.6/10 across the communes analysed.

The standard deviation of 0.3 signals relative homogeneity; results are comparable from one commune to the next.

Geographic Patterns and Contrasts

With a spread of only 1.2 points between extremes (9.6/10 to 8.4/10), the Frauenfeld communes offer relatively uniform conditions on this criterion.

Top-ranked communes typically benefit from several convergent factors (location, long-standing infrastructure, geographic exposure); the weakest often compound structural disadvantages. The interactive map makes these spatial clusters visible at a glance.

Who Weighs This Criterion Most

Among the four VivaMap profiles, the Nature profile weights this criterion most heavily (weight 100 out of 100). The other profiles apply the following weights: Retirement (weight 95), Family (weight 80), Young Professional (weight 30).

Practically, a high Nature & Green Spaces score carries significant impact on the ranking for the Nature profile, whereas it matters less for a profile that de-emphasises this criterion. This explains why the same commune can lead one ranking and fall mid-pack in another.

Comparison Across Swiss Agglomerations

Among the 21 major Swiss agglomerations analysed by VivaMap, Frauenfeld sits in the upper half for Nature & Green Spaces — rank 6/21 (ahead of 76% of the agglomerations).

Its immediate neighbours in the ranking are Schaffhausen (rank 5) and Bern (rank 7). This context helps calibrate absolute scores: an agglomeration that looks average in isolation can sit well among its peers, and vice versa.
