- Monthly net rent (without service and heating charges) of occupied rented and cooperative dwellings — existing tenancies, not asking rents. Structural survey (sample, persons aged 15+ in private households) — estimates with confidence intervals. BFS notes: questionnaire changed in 2015 and survey method, weighting and outlier detection changed in 2018, so results are only partly comparable across these years (footnotes of the table).
