With an average per capita purchasing power of 53,011 euros, the Swiss once again have significantly more money available for spending and saving in 2025 than residents of neighboring Austria and Germany. Austrians have a per capita purchasing power of 29,852 euros, while Germans can spend an average of 29,566 euros this year. However, there are significant regional differences in spending potential not only between the three countries, but also within them.

In Switzerland, the Hoefe district takes first place by some distance. People there have an average of 138,996 euros at their disposal, almost 3.6 times more than the residents of the Entlebuch district which has the lowest purchasing power (39,070 euros). For Austrians, Vienna’s 1st district (Inner city) leads the way with a per capita purchasing power of 40,497 euros, while Vienna’s 20th district (Brigittenau) brings up the rear with 23,624 euros. In Germany, the Starnberg district leads the district rankings with a per capita purchasing power of 40,684 euros; Gelsenkirchen takes last place with a spending potential of 23,425 euros per inhabitant.

This chart would be different if it was relative to the local prices. Even as someone living in Munich, I feel Switzerland is expensive AF.

Switzerland has higher rents, higher property costs, higher food costs, higher fuel costs, higher electricity costs, higher bills, higher costs of everything.

These numbers rarely align with the reality.

how can yellow be “average” if almost no one reaches it?

i assume they added the bottom value and top value and divided it by 2.

that would mean if elon musk had his own district the average income would be half whatever he makes. but that’s obviously not how averages work.

Its almost like Switzerland is taking the piss by not joining the EU but getting basically all the advantages and draining as much money out of everyone around them as possible.
