How we counted
The address register of the BEV gives every address, and each address counts once, however many flats it has. Road noise comes from the strategic noise maps 2022 of the federal ministry BMLUK, as Lden at the loudest facade of the building. The flood areas come from the BMLUK flood risk zones for 30, 100 and 300 years. Public transport uses the ÖROK classes 2025. Parks, shops and doctors come from OpenStreetMap, as of 12 October 2026, and from the city's own directories, and distances are as the crow flies. The air figures come from the latest year of a model of the European Environment Agency, and the residents' figures from the latest count of Statistik Austria. Noise and air are model values. The rankings keep neighbourhoods with at least 60 addresses.
On the map of Salzburg, the building report of each address names the flood area it lies in. The map shows every neighbourhood, and the method explains each part of LAGE.
