# Is 🇧🇿 Belize (Belmopan) a good place to live?

Quality score **45/100** against essentials of **$1,158/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 25 63.6 Mbps median broadband, 80% online

Safety 0 28.1 homicides/100k (2022)

Healthcare 70 UHC service coverage 70/100 (2023)

Air quality 85 PM2.5 11.8 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 -0.4 · corruption control -0.16 · stability 0.78 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $24.5 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $31.5/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
