# Is 🇬🇭 Ghana (Accra) a good place to live?

Quality score **45/100** against essentials of **$669/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 20 50 Mbps median broadband, 72.2% online

Safety 89 1.8 homicides/100k (2022)

Healthcare 56 UHC service coverage 56/100 (2023)

Air quality 15 PM2.5 43.3 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 0.05 · corruption control -0.19 · stability 0.01 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $6.55 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $8.33/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
