Basic spatial statistical units (USPAT)

The FSO has developed basic spatial statistical units (USPAT), which divide the Swiss territory into around 3 600 entities that can be grouped together along the boundaries of existing communes. They are designed to be stable over time, despite mergers of municipalities. The statistics produced at this level will enable a detailed analysis of the territory in both rural and urban areas. These small units are grouped together to provide a total of about 750 larger spatial units, each with around 10 000 inhabitants, to provide a more comprehensive range of statistics than at municipal level.
