Where Le Cap stands

78/100 — rank 321 of the 834 cities scored, and 19 of the 146 in Africa. A score on its own says nothing; its position explains it.

What carries it: Climat (88/100, rank 6), Facilité visa (96/100, rank 22). What holds it back: Coworkings dispo (72/100, rank 799), Sécurité (60/100, rank 671).

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.
