Definition of agglomerations and typology of municipalities 2020
In 2022, 74% of the population resided in one of the country's 52 agglomerations. This figure has remained relatively constant since the early 2010s, although three new agglomerations have been identified. Rural municipalities, which account for 57% of Switzerland's territory, are home to 14% of the population and 9% of jobs. These findings are based on the FSO 2020 statistical definitions of areas of urban character, agglomeration perimeters and typologies of municipalities.
