Do you agree with this graph?

  1. Not really. You have some odd clusters, where you split of the Wallis from the Geneva Region and make an additioal smaller cluster for the nord-west and nord-east. I think thos would help to give an overview on this topic.

  2. There’s nothing to agree or disagree. You might find the regions a bit strange because we’re used to dividing CH in cantons, but these regions are those of the Swiss Statistical Office, made for economic and cultural reasons. By the way, the colour contrast makes the difference very noticeable, but the actual numbers are not that different.

  3. Yeah this is correct. I live by at Gallen and It’s basically a third world country

    Edit: to clarify this is sarcasm

  4. Coming from the eastern region, but also not, since I’m from Grisons, of course I agree. 😉
    The interesting discussion would rather be how accurate this HDI is applied to Switzerland and the regions, because I hardly doubt it regards the mobility of people, e.g. I’m in Zurich faster than in >50% of places of my Canton. Life doesn’t draw lines and borders the way a database with an entry for canton does…

  5. With HDI, when you’re talking about variations of like 0.1, 0.2 when you’re at 9+, the impact is… negligible. Everyone has an insane level of HDI in Switzerland, and a few areas have a slightly more insane level.

  6. Lucerne and Zug would be equal to Zürich imo but yeah that’s just a very generalized graph of a statistic, nothing to disagree or agree
