Where should you live next?

Each component becomes a 0-100 value: affordability ($700/mo all-in scores 100, $4,000+ scores 0), climate (pleasant months count fully, warm-but-humid months count 40%, on a square-root curve), safety (the Numbeo city safety index where a survey exists, or the country hard-stats rating), internet (measured median download, 250+ Mbps = 100), tourist stay (180+ visa-free days = 100), and for relocation intent: tax, visa access, legal exposure and residency path (green = 100, yellow = 55, red = 15). Your fit is the average weighted by your sliders.

A month where the average daily high lands between 60°F and 87°F and humidity comfort data doesn't classify a large share of hours as muggy or worse, from measured hourly weather history (2023–2025, ERA5). The month strip shows exactly which months qualify. For fit scoring, warm-but-humid months also earn partial credit, tropical hubs are livable, just sweatier.

A solid dot is city-level perception, Numbeo's resident survey of how safe the city feels. A hollow dot means no city survey exists yet, so we show the country's hard-statistics rating (homicide and road-death rates) instead. The two layers are never blended, and conflict-zone countries show an advisory instead of a rating.

Under the default scouting weights, the top of the table mixes low-cost high-comfort cities (Arequipa, Cusco, Cuenca) with classic hubs (Chiang Mai, Hanoi, Taipei, Penang). But the honest answer is that "best" depends on your weights, that's why the column is called "Your fit", not "Score". Drag the sliders and watch the ranking change.

Tap + Compare on any city tile (or tick the Compare box in table view, or on a city profile) to add it to your compare tray, up to four. Then open the side-by-side view to see cost, climate, safety, internet, visas and tax next to each other.

Tiles stay quiet unless something is genuinely a problem. 🌫️ Poor air means yearly fine-particle pollution (PM2.5) is at least 35 µg/m³, seven times the WHO guideline. 🐢 Slow net means the measured median download is under 50 Mbps. 🛡️ Low safety and ⚠️ Conflict zone come from the Safety Explorer. The temperature is the average daily high for the current month, from measured weather history, not today's forecast.
