Methodology
How the wohnwahn score works
The wohnwahn score sums up how well a flat fits a good life in Vienna, today and tomorrow. It weighs four pillars (location, price, climate outlook and commute time) and relies solely on open, traceable data. No paid ranking, no hidden assumptions.
The four pillars
Daily needs, family, mobility, environment and culture, from concrete places and walking times in the Grätzl.
Ratio of rent or purchase price to the area median: fair, not just cheap.
Heat days 2050/2070 under GeoSphere scenarios: how cool the location stays in future.
Real travel times to your work address by mode: public transport, bike, car, on foot.
The area in categories
The „Location" pillar draws on five scannable categories, each calculated from concrete places and distances in the Grätzl.
Data sources
How up to date
Listings are refreshed several times a day, POI and public transport data monthly, market medians quarterly and the climate scenarios with every new GeoSphere release. Every place and listing page visibly carries its „last updated" date.
Frequently asked questions
Is the score objective?
It is transparent and reproducible: same data, same weighting, same result. „Objective" in the sense of value-free is not an assessment: that is why you can weight the pillars to fit your life and then see „your match" instead of just a „score".
How current is the data?
Listings several times a day, POI and public transport monthly, price medians quarterly, climate scenarios with every new GeoSphere release. Every page shows its update date.
Does paid placement play a role?
No. There is no bought ranking and no preferred listings. The score depends solely on the data sources named here.
Why is the location sometimes only „approximate"?
When a listing does not publish an exact address, we honestly show a soft radius instead of a sharp pin and mark it visibly.
