(Zurich for life)

Our goal is to combine city data about nursing homes and facilities with quality of life indicators to make a useful tool for families to plan for old age. This interactive map shows locations of retirement homes and facilities in Zürich (from open data), on top of environmental geodata about noise levels. Here are some ideas that we brainstormed at the Zürich Hacknights kickoff where this project started. This project is still in its infancy and needs more team members!

• Altersheime (data.stadt-zuerich) - retirement centers
• Alterswohnungen (data.stadt-zuerich) - retirement homes
• Statistik der Schweizer Städte: Wohnbevölkerung nach Altersklasse (data.stadt-zuerich) - population levels by age bracket
• Bevölkerungsbestand nach Jahr, Quartier und 5-Jahresalterskategorien (data.stadt-zuerich) - population indicators (economic statistics) by year, neighbourhood age bracket
• Swiss day/night noise levels (BAFU)
• Swiss day/night rail/road noise map (GeoAdmin)
