# Is 🇯🇴 Jordan (Amman) a good place to live?

Quality score **77/100** against essentials of **$852/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 83 208.7 Mbps median broadband, 95.6% online

Safety 94 1 homicides/100k (2023)

Healthcare 74 UHC service coverage 74/100 (2023)

Air quality 58 PM2.5 23.7 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**: middling
- World Bank WGI estimate 0.17 · corruption control 0.27 · stability -0.35 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $21.24 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $13.07/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
