Using data from international cost-of-living indexes, government statistics, and market surveys, we developed a composite formula to estimate affordability. The index factors in key expenses such as rent, food, healthcare, transportation, and utilities, adjusted for local purchasing power.

Cities are scored where 0–33 represents the lowest cost of living (most affordable), 33–66 moderate cost, and 66–100+ the least affordable.
