How We Calculate the Score

    Every city receives a composite score out of 100, derived from five weighted categories and over 100 individual data points.

    Economic

    GDP per capita, average salary, cost of living index, rent prices, tax rates, and purchasing power parity.

    Safety

    Crime index, political stability, natural disaster risk, terrorism threat level, and road safety metrics.

    Healthcare

    Healthcare quality index, hospital density, insurance costs, life expectancy, and mental health resources.

    Infrastructure

    Internet speed, 5G coverage, coworking space density, public transport quality, and airport connectivity.

    Quality of Life

    Climate comfort score, air quality, green spaces, cultural offerings, and expat community size.
