Green also means cooler
Street trees measurably cool their surroundings in summer. If you care about heat, green and cool go together, the cool-living page maps the heat load next to the green.

Where is Bregenz greenest to live?
Bregenz is greenest in Fluh, Mehrerau and Ölrain.
“Green” is easy to claim. wohnwahn measures it: the proximity to real green spaces, parks, woods and meadows, for every inhabited 250 m cell.
And the district average deceives, here along an unexpected line: the divide is not city against countryside but valley floor against hillside, and it runs straight through the provincial capital. The four inner districts of Bregenz score 0 for green living while Bregenz-Fluh above them reaches 52. wohnwahn measures the green at your home, not at the municipal rim.

The green map of Bregenz
Dark green means a lot of park, woodland or meadow nearby. Every square is an inhabited 250 m cell with its green-space proximity score (bigger and closer green counts more).
Only inhabited cells are coloured. This measures proximity to green spaces per home. Tap the map for the green score at that exact spot.

Frequently asked questions
Which is the greenest district in Bregenz?
The evaluation is being computed.
Is a municipality in the open Rhine valley green to live in?
In this market the usual reading is the wrong way round. Altach and Mäder sit in the open Rhine valley and still score 0 and 3 for green living, because a field is not green space you can walk in, while Bregenz-Fluh, a district of the provincial capital itself, reaches 52 and beats every municipality on the valley floor. That number says nothing about the green next to your home. wohnwahn instead measures the green space within walking distance of each inhabited spot, so a densely built block in a “green” district shows up honestly as what it is.
Do parks and woods count, or only street trees?
The ranking is built on real green spaces, parks, woods and meadows within walking distance, which is what most people mean by “living green”.
Where do you live green AND close to the centre?
Several districts combine a lot of green with good transit; the ranking above shows the trade-off.
Do street trees really make a difference?
Yes, measurably: trees provide shade and evaporative cooling and improve air and well-being. That’s why wohnwahn shows the trees around every address and why green overlaps with the cool-living ranking.
How current is the green data?
Green spaces from OpenStreetMap, evaluated per inhabited 250 m cell, refreshed monthly (as of October 2026).
