Districts researched:
Geneva City includes all districts.
The identified upscale living quarters in Zurich City are Districts 6 (Obertrass,Unterstrass and Wipkingen), 7 (Fluntern, Hottingen, Hirslanden and Witikon) and 8 (Seefeld and Riesbach) but since realtors' sites mostly provided the street names only within the districts, this study decided to include all properties found in the city of Zurich.
