How the Language and Integration Score Is Calculated

The overall score is a weighted average across seven indicators. Nomadino calculates: English proficiency × 0.18 + local language barrier × 0.18 + integration ease × 0.18 + cultural etiquette gap × 0.13 + expat community size × 0.13 + cultural distance × 0.10 + international schools × 0.10.

English proficiency: 18%
Local language barrier: 18%
Integration ease: 18%
Cultural etiquette gap: 13%
Expat community size: 13%
Cultural distance: 10%
International schools: 10%

This board combines the former language and expat lens with practical integration. Language usability and actual integration receive the highest weights because they affect daily errands, administration, social contact and work.

Cultural norms, expat community and cultural distance add everyday context. International schools receive a lower weight but remain important for families and internationally mobile households.
