Made to be honest

Numbers should say how much they know.

Country category PLIs are normalized to US = 1.00 and CPI chained from 2021. City factors are separate estimates. Each line is because the city layer is not an observed local price.

Country-level life evaluation is an average Gallup World Poll response for 2023–2025, reported on a 0–10 scale. It is never presented as a city score. 258 places have a reported result.
