Palermo
Palermo, Italy: the weather, the air, the distance to the coast and what a month costs, each with its source. This page assesses no one.
This page describes the destination for nobody in particular. Answer a few questions and each requirement is set against your own answers, with a monthly budget for your household. Your answers stay in the address bar of your browser; nothing is stored.

Each cell: average daily high, monthly mean, average daily low, in °C. These are averages of daily values over 2001–2020, not records — the hottest day is higher and is not shown.
How near the sea is
1.9 km
Straight-line distance from this city’s coordinates to the nearest coastline, computed from Natural Earth 1:10m Physical Vectors — Coastline (ne_10m_coastline) v5.1.2 at 1:10,000,000. Natural Earth is public domain, and anyone can download the same file and get the same number.
It is a distance and not an access. A city 8 km from the coast across a mountain ridge is not 8 km from the sea in any sense you would use, and the figure says nothing about what is on that coast — a container terminal and a bay give the same number. The coastline is the outline of the dataset’s land, so a river wide enough to separate land counts as coast.

A month here, for a reference household
Reference household: two adults aged 38 and 37, a one-bedroom home, no children.
Residence fees and health cover are those of EU/EEA free movement (register after three months). The low, middle and high figures are the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles where a publisher states them; each line says who published it.
illustrative Money figures on this page are illustrative unless the figure names its publisher. The illustrative ones are arranged so the shape is right — a larger flat costs more than a smaller one, and the expensive cities are the expensive ones — and they are accurate in nothing. Do not plan on them.
This comparison is wider than your screen — scroll it sideways to see the remaining columns.
| Line | P25The lower quartile of the estimate range: a quarter of observations fall below it. Read it as the cheaper end of what is realistic, not as a bargain you can count on. | P50The middle of the estimate range: half the observations fall below it and half above. It is the figure to read first — not a promise, but the most representative single number we have. | P75The upper quartile of the estimate range: a quarter of observations fall above it. Budget against this one if you want room to be wrong. | Basis |

The macro-region stands in for the city: ISTAT publishes the regions only at the top level of its classification, where housing includes imputed rent, so the macro-region is the finest geography at which these codes can be read. |

| Groceries* | not published | €521 | not published | Average of published figuresPublished by Istituto Nazionale di Statistica (ISTAT) More about this figureAdults: 2 · children: 0Measured in 2024.An average of what surveyed households actually spent — not a price anyone is charged, and it carries whatever mix of tariffs, dwellings and consumption those households had.Whose spending this is: Per person, per month, averaged over every family resident in Sicilia in 2024: ISTAT's «spesa media mensile familiare» for food and non-alcoholic drinks divided by ISTAT's «numero medio di componenti per famiglia» for Sicilia at 31 December 2024. The divisor counts families as the population register records them (persons registered together at one address with a family or affective tie), where the survey counts the family that actually lives and spends together; the two are close, and where they differ the register is usually the larger, so this per-person figure may read a little low. The region stands in for the city, and a child is charged the same as an adult.This is the survey’s average person. Food has strong economies of scale, and the publisher states one figure per person and no split by household size — so a larger household is charged here as though each member shopped alone.599.36 EUR a month per household (2024) ÷ 2.30 people per household (2024), both published by Istituto Nazionale di Statistica (ISTAT); the household size is the publisher’s household statistic, which counts families as the municipal population records hold them, not the survey’s own |

It is the sum of what we hold, not of what the household will pay.No low or high total, because the spread of these lines was never published: Rent, Electricity, gas and fuel, Water, sewerage and waste, Internet and phone and Groceries. Everything else here is either a measured range or an exact price. |
