Where Istanbul stands

80/100 — rank 160 of the 834 cities scored, and 121 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), Climat (76/100, rank 40). What holds it back: Qualité Internet (78/100, rank 542), Coworkings dispo (76/100, rank 436).

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.
