Durban
South Africa · UTC+2
The eight criteria
8 working hours shared with Western Europe.
2 with the US east coast.
Climatically workable months: May, June, July, August, September.
Durban has no hand-written dossier: we measure neither its real speeds, nor its coworking spaces, nor its community on the ground. The figures above are computed — the label under each says where it comes from. What is certain: the entry right, the shared working hours and the season.
Where Durban stands
79/100 — rank 219 of the 834 cities scored, and 14 of the 146 in Africa. A score on its own says nothing; its position explains it.
What carries it: Communauté nomad (90/100, rank 2), Facilité visa (96/100, rank 22). What holds it back: Coût de vie (69/100, rank 577), Coworkings dispo (73/100, rank 560).
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.
