Public transport
The ARE's public-transport service classes rate access to rail, tram and bus: A is excellent (station with dense frequency), D is basic service, and outside the coloured areas hardly anything runs. The map shows Lens.
Taxes
Cantonal indicative value (average of canton and municipalities), rank among the 26 cantons. The municipality's exact tax multiplier is in the FTA tax calculator.
Vacancy
Rule of thumb: below 1 % the market counts as tight (housing shortage), between 1 and 1.5 % as scarce, from 1.5 % as balanced to relaxed.
