Where Nairobi 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: Climat (86/100, rank 8), Coworkings dispo (80/100, rank 228). What holds it back: Sécurité (66/100, rank 669), Qualité Internet (80/100, rank 540).

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.
