Where Playa del Carmen stands

81/100 — rank 118 of the 834 cities scored, and 4 of the 77 in North America. A score on its own says nothing; its position explains it.

What carries it: Climat (85/100, rank 9), Facilité visa (96/100, rank 22). What holds it back: Qualité Internet (68/100, rank 695), Coworkings dispo (75/100, rank 439).

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.
