How the Nomad Score works

One number out of 100, built from six things that decide whether a month somewhere works.

Cost and internet (45%)

A realistic monthly budget for one person living comfortably, with a furnished one-bed, coworking and eating out, carries a quarter of the score. Typical home and coworking internet speed carries a fifth.

Community and safety (35%)

The size of the nomad and remote-worker scene counts for a fifth, because it decides how easy it is to make friends and find a desk. Safety for foreigners adds 15%.

English and climate (20%)

How easily you get by in English and how close the average temperature is to a comfortable 24°C make up the rest. Visas are listed on every city page but kept out of the score, since they depend on your passport.
