How is the directory organised?
Continent → country → city. Each level rolls up the scores beneath it, so you can zoom from a whole region down to a single city.
What does the score mean?
A 0–100 composite of cost of living, safety, healthcare and environment — NestFainder's own livability index, updated from verified data sources.
Which countries are covered?
Every country we track, grouped by continent, with city-level detail growing every week.
Can I search directly?
Yes — the search box above matches any country, capital or continent and jumps you straight to its page.
