Open the mapHow this directory is built
Collected from wherever it is published
Public registers, official statistics and open datasets, in Switzerland and abroad. If it describes Switzerland, it belongs here.
Checked against the original
Every entry is compared with the source it came from. What cannot be traced back does not get published.
Sorted by place, not by administration
People look for something near Bulle or near Chur. Nobody searches by which office happens to keep the file.
Four languages, written not machine translated
German, French, Italian and English. A page exists in a language when real text exists for it.
Frequently asked questions
What is Datist?
A directory of data about Switzerland. We collect it from sources around the world, check it against the original, and publish it as pages you can read instead of files you have to open.
Where does the data come from?
From open registers, public bodies and published sources, in Switzerland and abroad. Every page names its source and links back to it.
Do you change the figures?
No. We restructure and translate, we do not alter values. Where a source is unclear or contradicts another, we say so on the page.
Does it cost anything?
No. The site is free to use and there is no account.
Is Datist official?
No. It is an independent project, not an authority, and it does not decide anything.
Something here is wrong.
Tell us. If the source says otherwise, we correct it.
