# Is 🇬🇳 Guinea (Conakry) a good place to live?

Quality score **28/100** against essentials of **$694/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 9 23.4 Mbps median broadband, 33.3% online

Healthcare 43 UHC service coverage 43/100 (2023)

Air quality 32 PM2.5 35.7 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**: very weak
- World Bank WGI estimate -1.15 · corruption control -1.17 · stability -1.04 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $5.82 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $12.96/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
