# Is 🇧🇩 Bangladesh (Dhaka) a good place to live?

Quality score **45/100** against essentials of **$484/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 24 60.7 Mbps median broadband, 53.4% online

Safety 86 2.3 homicides/100k (2018)

Healthcare 54 UHC service coverage 54/100 (2023)

Air quality 14 PM2.5 43.9 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**: weak
- World Bank WGI estimate -0.96 · corruption control -1.1 · stability -1.46 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $2.37 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $2.54/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
