🇧🇪 Aubange: the verdict, plainly
What the tables imply but never say — what Aubange asks you to accept, and what it gives back.
Aubange trades time for money — the rent is among the gentlest in the area, the commute among the longest.
With 17,567 inhabitants, Aubange scores 3.2 out of 10 overall, which puts it in the lower part of the 127 profiled cities. Its rent of 14.3 €/m² is lower than in 89% of them, and its 49-minute peak commute shorter than in 33%.
Its strengths: cost of living (7.4) and transport (5.4). Its weak point: safety, at 2.8 — and since the overall score applies a worst-axis penalty, that weakness weighs more than a plain average would suggest.
The commune is a genuine feeder of cross-border workers: 5,530 of its residents work in Luxembourg, 31.5 per 100 inhabitants. At that level the local economy, the daily rhythm and even the housing market are set by the Grand Duchy.
