The Problem

You're Choosing Where to Live — Based on WiFi Speed?

Moving abroad is one of the biggest decisions of your life. But every tool you've found has the same blind spot.

NomadList tells you WiFi speed — not whether you'll live longer

Great for finding a co-working spot. But it won't tell you if air pollution will damage your lungs or if the city has world-class hospitals when you need them.

Numbeo tells you cost of living — not cost of dying early

You'll know rent is cheap. But you won't know the water quality, disease burden, or whether the healthcare system can actually save your life in an emergency.

International Living gives opinions — not peer-reviewed data

"Best places to retire" based on editorial judgment. No WHO data, no Lancet research, no way to compare cities objectively on what actually determines how long you'll live.

What if there was a ranking that answered the real question:
"Where in the world will I live the longest, healthiest, and happiest life?"

The Solution

The Only City Ranking Built for Your Health & Longevity

Your health deserves more than WiFi speed rankings. 82 cities scored across 8 evidence-based dimensions with data from 13 global institutions.

Evidence-Based

Every Score Backed by Named Sources

We don't make up numbers. Every dimension cites exactly which institution provided the data — WHO, Lancet, Yale, UN, or JCI. You can verify every score.

Health dimension uses WHO + Lancet GBD data
Environment scored by Yale EPI + WMO
Happiness from UN World Happiness Report
Peace measured by Global Peace Index

About the Founder

Built by Someone Who Asked the Same Question

Kamchai

Founder, Longevity Club

"I spent years researching where to live for the best quality of life — not just the cheapest rent. Every ranking I found focused on cost, WiFi, or nightlife. None asked: where will I actually live longer and healthier? So I built the tool I wished existed. Every score uses real data from WHO, Lancet, and the UN. This isn't opinion — it's evidence."

What People Are Saying

Feedback from our beta community of health-conscious explorers.

"Finally, a ranking that actually cares about my health. I was surprised to see Chiang Mai ranked #2 — but when I looked at the data (peace, visa, happiness, medical), it made total sense."

Sarah M.

Digital nomad, previously in Lisbon

"I love that every score cites its source. WHO, Lancet, Yale — you can actually verify the numbers. This is what was missing from NomadList."

Dr. James T.

Physician, exploring retirement options

"The Blue Zone spotlight was brilliant. Seeing how Okinawa and Ikaria compare to modern cities like Singapore and Melbourne gave me a whole new perspective."

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the data come from?

Every dimension uses named institutional sources: WHO and Lancet GBD for health, Yale EPI and WMO for environment, UN World Happiness Report for happiness, Global Peace Index for safety, JCI and WHO for healthcare, Numbeo for cost, and Speedtest/EF EPI/InterNations/ITU for connectivity. No proprietary or made-up scores.

Why is Health weighted at 30%?

Because this is a longevity index, not a cost-of-living guide. Life expectancy and disease burden (from WHO/Lancet) are the most important factors in determining where you'll live longest. Cities with world-class health infrastructure naturally score higher — exactly as they should.

Is this a subscription?

No. It's a one-time payment of $9.99 (founding price). You get lifetime access to all current and future data, including new cities as we expand toward 500+.

Why are there so many Thai cities in the ranking?

Thailand genuinely scores high on visa accessibility (multiple long-stay visa programs), peace & safety (GPI rank #33), healthcare quality (JCI-accredited hospitals), cost of living, and happiness. However, Health (D1 at 30%) keeps the ranking balanced — Thai cities score 63-68 on health vs. 80-86 for developed nations. The result is a fair, data-driven outcome.

How often is the data updated?

We update scores whenever source institutions release new data (typically annually for WHO, Lancet, Yale EPI, and UN WHR). New cities are added quarterly as we expand toward our goal of 500+ cities.

What's the difference between V10 and earlier versions?

V10 is a complete rebuild. We reduced 17 factors to 8 globally-credible dimensions, removed all proprietary metrics, required named institutional sources for every score, added 8 new cities, and rebalanced weights for global fairness. It's the most rigorous version we've ever released.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If the data doesn't help you make a better decision about where to live, we'll refund you in full.
