For each address in Dornbirn, we look up the flood areas, the road noise, the air, the stops nearby, the nearest park and the shops, doctors and schools within walking distance. LAGE, a score from 0 to 100, sums these up in five parts: quiet, air, transit, green and errands. The neighbourhoods Lagecheck compares are statistical areas of Statistik Austria, each named after a street or a place inside it, and all 28 of them have at least 60 addresses. Dornbirn's own districts are a different division, which the data leaves out.

| All of Dornbirn | 59 | 86 | 48 | 78 | 49 | 84 |
The Siegfried-Fußenegger-Straße area has the lowest median, 37. Its quiet and air parts match the city medians of 86 and 48, its errands part reaches 85, and transit and green lie at 65 and 40. The flood areas pull its score down. LAGE multiplies the five parts by a factor for natural hazards, so an address in a 100-year flood area loses about a third of its score. With most of its addresses in a flood area, the neighbourhood ends at the bottom of the list.
The Ebnit and Rudach areas follow just above it, tied at 39, and the Watzenegg and Kehlegg areas lie at 54 and 55. These four reach 86 to 90 for air and 97 to 99 for green, the highest values in the table. Transit lies between 5 and 50 and errands between 14 and 27 there. LAGE uses a geometric mean, so one weak part weighs more than in a plain average. Errands are the weakest part in three of the four, and transit in the Rudach area. In the Ebnit area, the factor for natural hazards also lowers most addresses, although few of them lie in a flood area.
Where is road traffic loudest?
The Bäumlegasse area has the largest share of addresses with road noise of 65 dB or more, 22.2 %. Across the city, the figure reaches 925 addresses, 7.8 %. In 6 neighbourhoods, the noise maps put every address below 65 dB. In Dornbirn, the strategic noise maps cover the main roads, and Lagecheck estimates the side streets, so this story gives the share from 65 dB.
How clean is the air?
The air model puts nitrogen dioxide at a median of 25.6 µg/m³ and fine dust PM2.5 at 12.1 µg/m³. For nitrogen dioxide, the Feldgraben area has the highest value, 28.4 µg/m³, and the Ebnit area the lowest, 4.6. For fine dust, the Schützenstraße area lies highest at 16.6 µg/m³, and the Ebnit area again lowest at 7.1. Here a lower value means cleaner air.
How far is it to the stop, the park and the shops?
2,274 addresses, 19.1 %, lie in public transport class A or B. The ÖROK classes rate public transport by the stops within walking distance and how often they are served, from A down to G. The Moosmahdstraße area reaches 89.2 %.
Of the 11,872 addresses with a recorded park distance, 2,041, 17.2 %, have a park within 300 m. The Schmelzhütterstraße area has the largest share, 86.5 %, and in 7 neighbourhoods the nearest park lies further away from every address. The parks come from OpenStreetMap, and forests stay out of the count.
A supermarket lies within 500 m of 61.5 % of the addresses, a doctor within 500 m of 37.2 % and a primary school within 500 m of 35.1 %. The Marktstraße area has a doctor within 500 m of every address, and the Schmelzhütterstraße area a primary school within 500 m of 98.5 %. All distances are as the crow flies.

How we counted
The address register of the BEV gives every address, and each address counts once, however many flats it has. Flood areas come from the flood risk zones of the federal ministry BMLUK, with the 30-, 100- and 300-year areas, and road noise from its strategic noise maps 2022, as Lden at the loudest facade. The air figures come from the models of the European Environment Agency, public transport from the ÖROK classes 2025, parks and shops from OpenStreetMap and the city's directories, and the residents from Statistik Austria. The data is from 12 October 2026.
A flood area marks the land a flood of that size can reach. It leaves out the height of the ground floor and any protection at the building. The map of Dornbirn shows every neighbourhood and its flood share, and the method explains each part of LAGE. With your own priorities, you set how much each part counts.
