Where should I live

Where should I live here is computed against Eurostat + World Bank + Eurostat. The inputs are shown, the assumptions are written down, and the result is a range rather than a single number wherever the underlying data supports only a range.

The question here is the vaguest one anybody asks and the hardest to answer without flattering the reader. Most quizzes of this shape have no data behind the answer at all: they ask five questions about your personality and name a city. This one filters on measured things, price level and pay and the presence of a source at all, and it returns fewer places than a quiz would because it will not name a country it has no figures for. It cannot weigh what actually decides these moves, which is usually a person or a job rather than a number.

Worked example: of 39 countries in the store, 24 come in under the European Union average price level. That is the kind of filter the matcher applies, and it never returns a country the source does not cover.

It covers 199 countries, which is exactly the set the source measures and no more.

The figures behind this tool describe 2024 and they change when Eurostat + World Bank + Eurostat publishes, not when this page is edited. That is why the year appears next to every value rather than in the small print: a tool whose data is a year old and says so is more useful than one that looks current and is not.
