About This Index

The cost-of-living index uses the geometric mean of latte and taxi prices, normalized to the global median. A score above 1.0 means the country is more affordable than average; below 1.0 means it's more expensive.

Price data is sourced from Numbeo and other public datasets. Fun indexes (Big Mac, Latte, etc.) are approximate values for illustrative purposes. Housing data reflects city-centre prices per square meter.
