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 Wels by those priorities. The story on living in Wels sets these errands beside noise, air, green space and LAGE, and the story on public transport in Wels ranks the neighbourhoods by their stops.
