# Is 🇨🇻 Cabo Verde (Praia) a good place to live?

Quality score **50/100** against essentials of **$967/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 25 63.7 Mbps median broadband, 74.7% online

Safety 58 7 homicides/100k (2020)

Healthcare 71 UHC service coverage 71/100 (2023)

Air quality 46 PM2.5 29.1 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 0.42 · corruption control 0.94 · stability 0.77 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $8.57 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $13.35/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
