Quality of life – municipal index

Quality of life is a balance of all the themes that measure quality of life. Detailed indicators are normalised so that all municipal values are placed on a scale from 0 to 100 where 0 is the worst and 100 is best (for some indicators, inverted scale is used). In the next step, the standardised indicator values are weighed together into indices at aspect level. This is done with averages, all indicators weighed together with the same weight in each aspect. The values are also at this level in the range 0 to 100. Then the index at aspect level is weighed together to the thematic level according to the same principle and these values also fall between 0 and 100. Finally, the value of all themes is weighed together according to the same principle, with the same weight, into an overall quality of life index.
