Where Kuala Lumpur stands

80/100 — rank 160 of the 834 cities scored, and 6 of the 251 in Asia. A score on its own says nothing; its position explains it.

What carries it: Facilité visa (96/100, rank 22), Climat (70/100, rank 103). What holds it back: Timezone (EU+US) (55/100, rank 599), Coût de vie (86/100, rank 224).

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.
