How we counted

The address register of the BEV gives every address, and each address counts once, however many flats it has. Supermarkets, doctors and primary schools come from OpenStreetMap and the city's own directories, and we measure the distance to each as the crow flies, so the walk along the streets runs longer. A share counts the addresses with at least one such place within 500 m, and it leaves out opening hours, the size of the shop and the doctor's field. The data is from 12 October 2026. The method explains how errands enter LAGE. Under your priorities, you can give errands on foot more weight, and the neighbourhood finder then ranks the neighbourhoods of Dornbirn by those priorities. The story on living in Dornbirn sets these errands beside flood areas, noise, air and LAGE.

Every figure in this story comes from the same open data as the maps and address pages of Lagecheck, counted per address from the address register. The data stands as of 12 October 2026.
