Scores are 0–10, computed only from factors we have data for; coverage shows how complete that is. A low score means a poor fit for that group’s needs, not a bad town. Tap an audience to see what drove its score.

The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Plenty of daily life within reach — 97 places to eat within 5km.
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.5km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Federico Fellini International Airport (RMI), about 12.3km away.
  • An established international community — 37 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 14.3km to the nearest beach.
Working against it
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
