How this ranking is calculated

The score is a Nomadino special ranking built from Costs, Relocation & Residency, Health, Safety and Infrastructure. Costs receive the highest weight because the search intent is affordability; residency usability and basic safeguards keep very cheap but weakly usable locations from ranking too high.

Nomadino uses the current scores of the relevant categories and topics; the underlying indicator sources are publicly documented and include the World Bank, OECD, United Nations, WHO, ITU, ILO, UNODC, Freedom House, V-Dem and national statistical offices.
