Rio de Janeiro 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 Rio de Janeiro stands

81/100 — rank 118 of the 834 cities scored, and 15 of the 54 in South America. A score on its own says nothing; its position explains it.

What carries it: Timezone (EU+US) (100/100, rank 1), Facilité visa (96/100, rank 22). What holds it back: Climat (60/100, rank 594), 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.

Rio de Janeiro, beyond the score

What the score leaves out and the city file already knows: where to sleep, where to eat, what to see after work, when to come, how to get there.
