The administrative boundaries (Municipalities, Districts and Cantons) provided by Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO) are optimized for the cartographic visualization of statistical data at smaller scales. The source data (swissBOUNDARIES3D) has been generalized to the following two levels of detail, 1:500,000 and 1:2,000,000.

Yearly updates, matching the update cycles of the census data (GEOSTAT) provided by the FSO, are also available.

A detailed description of the data is available in English, German and French.

The service is in the Swiss coordinate system CH1903+ LV95. The LV95 Swiss Topographic map is best suited as a basemap for this service.

swissBUILDINGS3D 3.0 Beta is a vector based dataset provided by swisstopo which describes buildings as 3D models with roof geometries and roof overhangs. The detailed roof structures are recorded in three dimensions and enhanced with additional information as attributes. The high degree of detail in all three dimensions, together with the high coverage and realistic rendering of the building volumes, make this product a valuable basic dataset for a large range of applications. swissBUILDINGS3D 3.0 is updated every six years.With the current relesase of swissBUILDINGS3D 3.0 Beta, swisstopo provides building models structred according to the federal building identifier (EGID) and containing the EGID as additional information. The data are available in the cantons AG, AI, AR, BE, BL, BS, GL, JU, SG, SZ, TG and the city of Zurich.Application examplesThis scene layer can be applied in a broad range of areas, and constitutes an ideal planning and visualization tool for planners, environmental engineers, public authorities, architects, etc. For example, this data offers the ideal background data for the following use cases:3D visualizations (e.g. tourism, marketing, information)Basis of urban and spatial planning, residential development projects, mobility, telecommunications or energyVisibility and shadow analysesCalculation of solar potentialSimulation of natural disastersAnalyses of distribution (noise, air pollutants, electromagnetic radiation)Ecology and urban climatologyAttributes with identifiers from the Swiss official commune register were added and allow filtering by municipalities, districts or cantons.This scene layer is provided in Web Mercator projection (EPSG 3857).

The permanent resident population is the reference population for population statistics.The permanent resident population includes:All Swiss nationals having their main place of residence in SwitzerlandForeign nationals who have held a residence or permanent residence permit for a minimum of 12 months.The population evolves due to certain demographic movements (births, immigrations, deaths and emigrations). Since 2007, the average increase has been over 1%, making Switzerland one of the most dynamic countries in Europe in terms of population growth.

On 31 December 2022, Switzerland's permanent resident population was 8 815 400, i.e. 0.9% more than in 2021. This population growth was slightly higher than in previous years. At the same time, the population is getting increasingly older.The Population and Households Statistics are part of the surveys conducted within the framework of the Federal population census. The statistics provides information regarding population size and composition of the permanent resident population at the end of a year as well as population change during the same year.Features registered:Individuals: date of birth, gender, marital status, citizenship, place of residence, place of birth, place of previous residence, household composition.Foreign nationals: residence permit, duration of stay.For data protection reasons, absolute values ​​from 1 to 3 cannot be given in standard evaluations and are therefore indicated in this data set as a class with the value «3».The service is in the Swiss coordinate system CH1903+ LV95.

With over 400,000 georeferenced entries, swissNAMES3D is the most comprehensive collection of geographical names for Switzerland and the Principality Liechtenstein. The free dataset, compiled by swisstopo is based on a simple data model and provides the ideal basis for a broad range of applications. The six-year updating cycle of swissNAMES3D is closely linked to that of the topographic landscape model. One edition of this dataset is published each year.

Application examples

Adding geographic names to various geodata setsFlexible and clear presentation of names on aerial photographs, maps and plansLabeling to aid comprehension of 3D visualizations (e.g. panoramic views)

Structure

The swissNAMES3D vector data set is a compilation of names from the topographical landscape model (TLM). The names belong to TLM landscape features and are linked to their 3D geometries, which means that they are also georeferenced. The simple data model is made up of three thematic layers, which differ according to their geometry type (point, line, polygon). Thanks to additional attributes, the names can be categorized within a layer according to TLM feature classes.

QualityswissNAMES3D has the following distinctive high-quality features:Full national coverage in homogeneous form and qualityHorizontal and vertical accuracy: 0.2-1.5m in all three dimensions for well-defined landscape features, such as roads; 1-3m in all three dimensions for features without clear boundaries, such as settlementsLines and polygons correspond to the areas to which names apply (e.g. settlement)Simple data modelPromotes multilingualism

The service is in the Swiss coordinate system CH1903+ LV95.Data vintage: June 2025. The service is updated annually.

This polygon feature is only used to label physiographic features and regions.

At the end of 2016, there were 3.7 million private households in Switzerland. Over a third were single-person households and almost one third two-person households. The average household size was 2.24 persons.The Population and Households Statistics are part of the surveys conducted within the framework of the Federal population census. The statistics provides information regarding population size and composition of the permanent resident population at the end of a year as well as population change during the same year. Together with the structural survey, it provides the household statistics.Features registered:Individuals, households and economically active persons within the permanent and non permanent resident population (at their main residence and, if it applies, at their secondary residence), linked to georeferenced buildings and dwellings.For data protection reasons, absolute values ​​from 1 to 3 cannot be given in standard evaluations and are therefore indicated in this data set as a class with the value «3».
