Today and in 2035

Eight measures, 0 to 100: where each stands, and where it is heading.

  • Climate Resilience: 77 today, 73 in 2035(Climate model)

    The median of 10 climate models (CMIP6, middle-road scenario) is +0.5°C by 2035 and 7 more days above 30°C a year.

  • Cost of Living: 61 today, 57 in 2035(Our forecast)

    Prices here sit below the US level and tend to rise as incomes catch up.

  • Safety & Stability: 85 today, 85 in 2035(Held at today)

    Crime and political stability do not follow a trend we can project, so we hold today's value.

  • Healthcare Access: 83 today, 83 in 2035(Held at today)

    We have no trend for its spending, life expectancy and out-of-pocket mix we can defend yet, so today's value is shown.

  • Visa Freedom: 47 today, 47 in 2035(Held at today)

    Visa rules change by political decision, not by trend, so we hold today's value.

  • Community Fit: 63 today, 68 in 2035(Our forecast)

    The share of residents born abroad has been growing in most countries, and we assume it keeps growing.

  • Internet Quality: 81 today, 91 in 2035(Our forecast)

    The share of people online keeps rising everywhere, fastest where it is lowest.

  • Tax Friendliness: 43 today, 43 in 2035(Held at today)

    Tax law changes by political decision, not by trend, so we hold today's value.
