Nairobi 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 Nairobi stands

78/100 — rank 321 of the 834 cities scored, and 19 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), Coût de vie (93/100, rank 94). What holds it back: Qualité Internet (70/100, rank 550), Timezone (EU+US) (67/100, rank 526).

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.
