Leaving Lausanne for the surrounding municipalities is rarely just a tax decision. When rates are nearly identical, the real choice is about commuting and infrastructure.

In mixed postcodes, the population belongs to the postal boundary, not a specific town. Here is how to read the data without getting misled.
