How we measure this

BFS · STATPOP

Share of permanent residents aged 0–19, per municipality, from the BFS STATPOP register (2025). A high child share is one indicator of family orientation; childcare provision and school quality are not nationally available per municipality and are therefore not part of this ranking.

Frequently asked questions

Which municipality in canton Bern has the highest share of children?: Mont-Tramelan has the highest share of children and youth (0–19) in canton Bern: 34.2% as of 2025.
What makes a municipality family-friendly?: Common factors are childcare availability, schools, the tax multiplier, housing and safety. This ranking shows the measurable demographic indicator — the share of children and youth — from official BFS data.
