# Is 🇦🇲 Armenia (Yerevan) a good place to live?

Quality score **65/100** against essentials of **$715/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 61 151.7 Mbps median broadband, 81.3% online

Safety 87 2.2 homicides/100k (2023)

Healthcare 69 UHC service coverage 69/100 (2023)

Air quality 41 PM2.5 31.5 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**: middling
- World Bank WGI estimate -0.14 · corruption control 0.14 · stability -0.72 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $17.7 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $6.32/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
