The Swiss Städtekonferenz Mobilität (transl: City Conference on Mobility) publishes a "Städtevergleich Mobilität" (transl: City comparison on mobility) for the six biggest German-speaking Swiss cities (Basel, Bern, Luzern, St.Gallen, Winterthur and Zürich), every couple of years. It is based on combining federal data and data the cities collect themselves. The reports are published here: https://skm-cvm.ch/de/Info/Fakten/Stadtevergleich_Mobilitat
Every year, modal shares between cities are reported. Currently reported years are 2010, 2015, 2021. Modal shares are calculated as the percentages of the main mode of transport per trip ("Hauptverkehrsmittel pro Weg", p. 18 of report for 2021).
This repository provides a dataset, which is a manual transcription of modal shares reported on page 18 of the report for 2021 to make modal share data available in CSV format. The original report is attached as well. The repository contains the following files:
This statistic illustrates the European cities in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), for their annual rental yields as of 2016. It can be seen that Berlin, in Germany, had the largest annual rental yield, with a return of 4.9 percent at that time. Frankfurt (Germany) and Linz (Austria) completed the top three, with annual rental yields of 4.1 percent and 3.4 percent respectively as of 2016.
The data collected on members of the local elites of the three largest city-regions (Basel, Geneva and Zurich) are integrated in the more general OBELIS database on Swiss Elites. Currently, the OBELIS database includes elites from four sectors at the national level: Economic, Political, Administrative and Academic (+ national sociability associations) and covers nine dates: 1890, 1910, 1937, 1957, 1980, 2000, 2010, 2015 and 2020. The elite status of individuals is defined by the position/function held in these four spheres at the date mentioned. A description of all the different samples of the Swiss elites can be consulted on the website. The data allows researchers to understand the elites through a relational analysis (network analysis) to highlight the interrelations between these elites. The data is also suitable to conduct prosopographical analysis. As for national elites, the identification of local elites of the three largest Swiss city-regions also follows a positional approach by selecting all individuals occupying leading positions in the major local economic, political, cultural and academic institutions for the 7 benchmark years: 1890, 1910, 1937, 1957, 1980, 2000 and 2020. For the economic sphere we collected information on all the committee members of the regional chambers of commerce as well as directors of the most important companies of the three cities’ leading economic sectors. This includes the major banks and insurance companies for the financial sector; for Basel, all the major textile (until 1937) and chemical-pharmaceutical companies; for Geneva, the major watch-making companies, as well as a few other industrial companies; and for Zurich, all the major companies from the machine industry. The total number of companies varies from 49 in 1890 to 35 in 2020. The smaller sample for the recent period is due to the strong concentration process in all economic sectors, involving mergers and acquisitions as well as bankruptcies. For these companies, all CEOs/general directors and directors’ board members were taken into account. For the political sphere, we included all members of the cantonal (regional) and local (city) parliaments and governments for Geneva and Zurich, whereas in Basel, where the city’s territory fully coincides with the canton, only the members of the cantonal parliament and government were considered. For the academic sphere we include all full and extraordinary (associate) professors of the three cities’ universities until 1957, and, for the more recent dates, a selection of professors according to the occupation of institutional positions or according to their scientific reputation. Finally, the committee members of the three cities’ fine art societies are included as urban elites from the cultural sphere.

The dataset contains the population of the resident population at the end of the corresponding month.
The resident population includes:- the permanent resident population at the main residence: all persons who are registered with their main residence in the city of St.Gallen and have Swiss citizenship or a foreign citizenship with a residence or settlement permit - the non-permanent foreign resident population: foreign nationals with a short-stay permit, temporarily admitted persons, persons in need of protection and applicants for asylum as far as they are registered with the municipal population control - persons with a secondary residence (so-called "weekly residents"): registered residents in the city of St.Gallen with a main residence elsewhere in Switzerland or abroad. A secondary residence is usually established in connection with a job or a visit to a training institution in the city of St.Gallen.
It is based on data from the Population Services of the City of St.Gallen (processed under the name "STADTSGPOP" by the Statistical Office).

The Swiss city of Zurich ranks among the most expensive European cities for a Starbucks coffee. In 2016, the average cost of a Latte Grande from Starbucks coffeehouses in Zurich was 6.33 euros. In London, UK the same drink cost less than half the price, averaging 3.09 euros.
Coffee shop prices across Europe
Coffee prices fluctuate across different markets in Europe, largely due to varying economies. Another coffee price index, for example, ranked the high-income Switzerland and Nordic countries as having the highest prices for a cappuccino in European restaurants. The coffeehouse landscape also varies by country, with the presence of coffee chains high in some markets, while other independent cafés are the more prominent choice for local coffee consumption.
Starbucks in Europe
The U.S. coffeehouse chain Starbucks is a major player in Europe, ranking as the second leading coffee shop chain based on number of stores. The brand is present across all major European markets, including Russia and Turkey. The largest number of Starbucks stores in Europe, however, are based in the UK.
