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. 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 Linz by those priorities. The story on living in Linz sets these errands beside noise, air, green space 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.
