Research Methodology

How We Research Cities

At WhereToLiveGuide, every city profile is built through a structured research process. We combine public data, official sources, community insights, real-world experiences, and human-reviewed analysis to help users make better relocation and long-stay decisions.

We do not rely on a single source or fully automated content generation. Each city is evaluated across practical living factors such as cost of living, internet quality, safety, healthcare, climate, visa practicality, remote work suitability, and lifestyle fit.

Multi-Source Research

Our methodology is based on cross-checking information from multiple independent sources. This helps reduce errors, outdated assumptions, and one-sided conclusions.

• Official government and immigration websites
• Cost of living platforms
• Internet speed and infrastructure reports
• Climate and weather databases
• Healthcare and safety references
• Expat, remote worker, and digital nomad communities
• Public travel blogs, videos, and local guides

Human-Reviewed, AI-Assisted

We use AI-assisted workflows to organize, compare, and structure large amounts of information more efficiently. However, our city data is not published blindly by automation.

Each profile is shaped through a human-guided process focused on usefulness, clarity, consistency, and real-world decision value.

City Scores

City scores are designed as comparison tools, not absolute guarantees. They help users quickly understand how a city performs across important relocation and remote work factors.

Different users may experience the same city differently depending on budget, citizenship, lifestyle, expectations, and personal priorities.
