How we counted

The address register of the BEV gives every address, and each address counts once, however many flats it has. The trips by public transport come from the timetables of the Mobilitätsverbünde Österreich, with the walks on the paths of OpenStreetMap. The share working in Vienna comes from the commuter statistics of Statistik Austria as of 31 October 2024, and the residents' ages from its 100 m grid. Noise comes from the strategic noise maps 2022 of the BMLUK, flood areas from its flood risk zones, the air from the models of the European Environment Agency and the public transport classes from ÖROK, as of 2025. The neighbourhoods are statistical areas of Statistik Austria, each named after a street inside it. The data is from 23 October 2026.

Around Vienna, LAGE follows the village rule, with the time to Vienna as one part and errands counted in full within 2 km. So the LAGE of Perchtoldsdorf stands beside the other towns around Vienna and apart from the LAGE of the cities. The story Living in Mödling, in figures describes the town of Mödling, the story Living around Vienna and commuting to Vienna, in figures describes the whole area, and the method explains each part.

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 23 October 2026.
