How we score

Every score is transparent. We tag each city on 5–8 dimensions (safety, cost tier, environment, vibe, food/culture/nature depth). Each traveller persona has a fixed weighting formula — a family traveller values safety and family infrastructure heavily; a digital nomad values cost and cowork density. Scores are the weighted sum, clamped 0–100.

City tags for São Paulo: Moderate safety · Mid-range costs · Urban character · Food capital · Culturally dense · Nightlife capital.
