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

Read the postcode as an address split, not as one administrative unit. The examples below show a clean 50/50 case, a dominant case, a nearly single municipality case, and a fragmented case.

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.

Leaving Geneva for Vaud is a classic tax move, but the tax rate alone is not enough. You have to weigh the financial gain against the daily commute.

A reliable comparison keeps the ESTV scenario fixed and checks which municipality supplies the tax result shown for each postcode.

Postcodes and municipalities diverge most often when one postcode covers several settlement edges, hamlets, or valley stretches.
