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

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.
