Comment on Cost of Living Index by Country 2024 – Numbeo

Comments

has anyone done a simple merging of the Cost of living and quality of living to get the top 10 countries with the lowest cost of living but relatively highest quality of living?

Numbeo already includes (among other factors) CoL in their QoL index calculation, see: qhttps://www.numbeo.com/quality-of-life/indices_explained.jsp

You can of course use alternative calculations / weights, but without a principled way to do so, you can choose weights to come up with pretty much any outcome that you like.

Also worth mentioning that the QoL index considers "climate index" which is almost meaningless, and apparently doesn't account for factors like "suffers from tropical cyclones".

Do it and share!
