🇱🇺 Contern: the verdict, plainly
What the tables imply but never say — what Contern asks you to accept, and what it gives back.
Contern charges for its position: you get to work fast, and the rent lets you know.
With 5,031 inhabitants, Contern scores 4.8 out of 10 overall, which puts it mid-table of the 127 profiled cities. Its rent of 30.0 €/m² is lower than in 10% of them, and its 24-minute peak commute shorter than in 94%.
Its strengths: Luxembourg commute (7.2) and transport (6.3). Its weak point: cost of living, at 3.1 — and since the overall score applies a worst-axis penalty, that weakness weighs more than a plain average would suggest.
On the Luxembourg side the daily trip costs nothing: public transport is free across the whole country, and the only price of the journey is time.
