According to a UBS survey, medium-sized centers in Switzerland are more appealing for families than expensive cities, with municipalities like Locarno and Vevey ranking high due to better housing costs and local infrastructure. While affluent families can afford high-priced areas, those with average or below-average incomes find these locations generally inaccessible, leading them to seek more affordable options outside city centers. The residential attractiveness indicator evaluates 35 variables, emphasizing practical factors over aesthetic qualities.
