I found some statistics here in the Tagesanzeiger newspapers about curious statistics regarding the city of Zurich. Just for the fun of sharing, I paste here a part of it:
- the average zuricher eats 33 grams of chocolate per day – 12,3 kilos a year.
- the most common names are «Peter » and « Maria ». According to statistics, Peter and Maria cannot stand more than 10,5 years of marriage, after what they head to the attourney’s cabinet for a divorce (the swiss average is 14,5 years).
- the average zuricher lives in a 3-room flat, uses 285 liters of water and produces 267 kilos of trash a year. Most of them do not possess a car, and when they do, it is most likely to be either gray (26%) or black (20%).
- and last but not least: the Mayor’s Department reveals that Zurich snorts 39,000 rails of cocaine per day. For those who wonder, the habit can be revealed simply by analyzing the water from the city’s sewage system.
As the person who translated (Marina from glocals) this bit, I also wonder what would these statistics be for Geneva. Probably more chocolate eating and more cocaine, or not, because this city is a bit smaller than Zurich?...that is the question.
