Where Dubaï stands

82/100 — rank 87 of the 834 cities scored, and 2 of the 251 in Asia. A score on its own says nothing; its position explains it.

What carries it: Coworkings dispo (90/100, rank 1), Sécurité (95/100, rank 3). What holds it back: Coût de vie (55/100, rank 784), Timezone (EU+US) (78/100, rank 523).

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.
