Basic spatial statistical units of the second level (USPAT2)

Second level basic statistical spatial units (USPAT2) of around 10 000 inhabitants are formed by grouping together USPAT1s or municipalities. These units make it possible to analyse the Swiss territory as a whole on the basis of entities of similar population size. Their size has been defined in such a way as to be able to potentially produce results of surveys with sufficient sample size.
