The GEOfy Indicator System – we always find the right address!

Regardless of being a mother or father, student or retiree. We all want to live in the best possible circumstances. We often spend a lot of time looking for the ideal place to live or the best neighborhood and use up a lot of energy.

GEOfy tells you straight away whether an area in Germany suits you or not. To give you an idea how GEOfy works we have preselected a few criteria for you. These preselected criteria tries to reflect the living conditions of families, students and senior citizens as accurately as possible.

We present you with a total index value between 0 and 100 for all regions. In this way, you can quickly and intuitively classify whether a certain region suits you and your focus or not. An index value of 100 means that the area fits perfectly, a value of 0 means the opposite. If you want, you can of look at the criteria individually. So you don't have to rely on our index alone.

For each indicator, a region receives a score between 0 and 100. The sum of the individual scores of the indicators used for a analysis is the total score of a region. The index value displayed for the regions is then calculated by dividing the total score of the region by the number of indicators used.

Example:

With a total score of 1,450 and a number of indicators of 19, this results in a (rounded) index value of 76:

1.450 / 19 = 76,32

Last but not least, we put the individual indicators in perspective. In many places on our website, we do not merely show the indicator values for the region, but also the corresponding average value of each indicator. This way, you can easily assess how good a certain value really is.

For example, it looks like this:

The second value (right after "vs.") shows the average value.
