Property Rights Security

Nomadino property-rights-security index on a 0-100 scale. Higher is better. The raw value combines a property-rights core, rule-of-law and court enforcement, land and title administration proxies, corruption and registry integrity, expropriation and arbitrary-state-risk safeguards, equal-access checks, and conflict or state-collapse caps. Score equals raw value.

How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino property-rights-security index from 0 to 100 points. 100 means property can be legally acquired, registered, used, pledged, transferred and defended against the state, fraud, corruption, violence or arbitrary interference.

The calculation combines seven components: 35% property-rights core, 20% legal enforcement and courts, 15% land-title and registry practice, 10% corruption and administrative integrity, 10% expropriation and arbitrary-state risk, 5% equal access to property, and 5% conflict and state-collapse context.

The public source families are Heritage Property Rights, International Property Rights Index, World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators, World Bank Business Ready, World Justice Project Rule of Law Index, World Bank Women, Business and the Law, and Fraser/Economic Freedom data. Nomadino harmonises these signals with maintained indicators for rule of law, expropriation risk, corruption, government efficiency, police effectiveness, organized crime, political stability, active conflicts, economic freedom and foreigner ownership rights.

The indicator does not ask whether real estate is cheap or whether foreigners can buy without restrictions. The relevant question is whether property is practically secure: clear title, functioning registries, fair courts, low corruption, predictable administration, protection from expropriation and real enforcement.

Active war, state collapse, politicised courts, arbitrary expropriation, weak registries, extreme corruption, organized crime or missing remedies can trigger ceilings. Territories without full source coverage use harmonised fallbacks based on administering state, local legal framework, autonomy, registry practice, regional comparators and administrative influence.

The score equals the raw value. A higher raw value therefore improves the ranking.
