Calcu­lation of location indi­cators for real estate in Switzer­land
“Location, location, location” is an old piece of real estate wisdom that is still valid today. For an international real estate group, we have created individual portfolios for 1.7 million Swiss house addresses based on freely available data.

Project contents

The image presents a heat map of Switzerland, depicting population density or activity levels, with intense red and yellow areas indicating higher concentrations. The map highlights urban areas and major cities, providing a visual representation of where human activity is most prominent.
The aim of the project was the fully automated creation of individual portfolios for residential and commercial properties in Switzerland. The portfolios are made up of house addresses and a wide range of socio-economic data, environmental quality parameters and remote sensing data. The data sources are predominantly public and come from official Swiss statistics, Copernicus and OpenStreetMap. The required parameters were extracted from the source data sets according to the client's specifications, merged in a big data-capable database solution and prepared for further use with BI tools (in particular Microsoft Power BI).
The entire processing procedure (integration, calculation of characteristic values, preparation / evaluation) was fully automated so that the database can be easily updated.

Technology

We rely on a sophisticated combination of proven methods and innovative technologies to not only implement projects, but to make them successful in the long term. Our strength lies in the intelligent combination of experience and progress – from established standards to state-of-the-art digital solutions.We use the following methods and technologies for the calculation of location indicators for real estate in Switzerland:
PostgreSQL
Python
Microsoft Power BI
ArcGIS
