# Is 🇬🇾 Guyana (Georgetown) a good place to live?

Quality score **58/100** against essentials of **$738/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 72 180.4 Mbps median broadband, 83% online

Safety 0 19.1 homicides/100k (2023)

Healthcare 73 UHC service coverage 73/100 (2023)

Air quality 88 PM2.5 10.3 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**: weak
- World Bank WGI estimate -0.33 · corruption control -0.35 · stability 0.22 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $27.33 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $18.99/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
