How to read these figures

Travel times are federal model values for an average weekday, as of 2017: averaged over the whole home municipality and the whole workplace municipality, for public transport including the way to and from the stop. Your door-to-door time can differ. For a specific address, the report calculates it again.
Car: driving time on the road network with the traffic of an average weekday.
Total annual cost: income tax, health insurance premiums (deductible 300) and electricity (4,500 kWh) for the chosen household, without commuting costs. Differences rounded to CHF 100.
Rents and property prices are not included; there is no data per municipality.

Travel times: Federal Office for Spatial Development ARE, transport modelling DETEC (NPVM), data as of 2017, CC BY 4.0; municipalities as of 2026. Costs: FTA (taxes 2026), FOPH (health insurance 2027), ElCom (electricity 2027). Fog days: MeteoSwiss, average 2023-2025, October to February. Methodology and data sources
