Where Budapest stands

83/100 — rank 57 of the 834 cities scored, and 51 of the 286 in Europe. A score on its own says nothing; its position explains it.

What carries it: Facilité visa (96/100, rank 22), Communauté nomad (78/100, rank 100). What holds it back: Timezone (EU+US) (88/100, rank 377), Coût de vie (80/100, rank 324).

The six closest profiles

Closeness is computed across all eight scores, not the overall one: two cities at 80 may have nothing in common — one expensive and safe, the other cheap and loud. It is the shape of the profile that matches.
