Affordability is not scored here. The rent we hold covers every contract in force, including tenants who signed long ago; the same office also publishes what people signing a new lease now pay, and that is the figure this city should be ranked on.

A hatched month with a dash is one no monitor measured. It is an absence, not clean air, and it is left out of the annual mean.

How this score was worked out

Each part is scored out of 100, multiplied by what it is worth, and divided by the total. Nothing here is a guess about you: the weights are the same for every reader, and the criteria below are your own answers.

These add up over the 15 points we could measure here, not all 18. A part we cannot measure is left out rather than counted as zero, so the parts we can measure are each worth proportionally more.

What the fit for your reason for moving is made of

  • Whether this route lets you own and run a business: 100
  • How long your capital lasts here: not measured here
  • Rule of law and control of corruption: 70
  • Doing business in a language used here: 80
  • How long this route lets you stay: 100
  • Whether your partner may work here too: 100
  • How fast the economy has been growing: 40
  • How far your capital goes here: 40Your capital of at least €200,000 is about 13 years of an average employee's gross pay here (€1,262 a month, ILOSTAT 2025).

How far your capital goes is scored on bands that are Emigrator's judgement, not a publisher's: under 10 years of pay scores 10, under 25 scores 40, under 50 scores 70, and 50 or more scores 100. It never rules a destination out.
