# Is 🇦🇴 Angola (Luanda) a good place to live?

Quality score **48/100** against essentials of **$685/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 12 30.6 Mbps median broadband, 40.7% online

Safety 75 4.1 homicides/100k (2016)

Healthcare 44 UHC service coverage 44/100 (2023)

Air quality 61 PM2.5 22.6 µg/m³ (2023)

## Beside the score, not inside it

Neither of these is part of the composite above, deliberately. Folding governance into a quality-of-life number would bury a political judgement where you could not see it or argue with it, and connection *price* is a different question from connection *speed* — somewhere fast and expensive and somewhere slow and cheap are different trade-offs, not one average.

- **Rule of law**: very weak
- World Bank WGI estimate -1.17 · corruption control -0.62 · stability -0.57 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $30.69 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $9.87/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
