Nordfyns Kommune gives you the most green for your money
According to a YouGov survey from 2018, 4 out of 10 Danes want to live a sustainable lifestyle. Among other things, this includes living in an environmentally friendly municipality. However, your dream home in your dream municipality can be expensive.
Brikk has therefore looked at where, as a homeowner, you get the most green for your money in Region Syddanmark (the Region of Southern Denmark). The results show that Nordfyns Kommune tops the list with the lowest house price per greenpoint, while Billund comes bottom.
Brikk’s study
We based our analysis on a study by Greenmatch.dk, which looked at how environmentally friendly Denmark’s municipalities are. We matched that data with average house prices and used it to draw up a ranking of where you get the most green for your money.
The municipalities were rated on the following 6 criteria: the energy source used to heat homes, interest in green energy, the schools’ Green Flag scheme, residents per car, access to composting and purchases of organic groceries. The more greenpoints, the more climate-friendly the municipality.
We then took each municipality’s total greenpoint score and divided it by the municipality’s average house price. This gives the average house price for one greenpoint in each municipality.
Nordfyns Kommune tops the list, followed by Assens
Nordfyns Kommune tops the list with the lowest house price per greenpoint. Its price per greenpoint is 37.822 kr., which makes it the municipality that best balances environmental friendliness and house prices. In other words, this is where you get the most green for your money
According to the results, the next-best places to settle are Assens (39.322 kr.) and Faaborg-Midtfyn (39.527 kr.), both with a price per greenpoint below the average of 61.175 kr. per greenpoint for the municipalities in Region Syddanmark.
At the bottom of Brikk’s list of where you get the most green for your money is Billund, at 94.691 kr. per greenpoint, which is 33.516 kr. above the average for Region Syddanmark. So if you are looking only for an area that combines a high level of environmental friendliness with affordable prices, Billund is not the most suitable choice.
