Where Riga stands

79/100 — rank 219 of the 834 cities scored, and 162 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), Sécurité (88/100, rank 134). What holds it back: Coworkings dispo (70/100, rank 801), Climat (60/100, rank 594).

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.
