# Is 🇲🇺 Mauritius (Port Louis) a good place to live?

Quality score **74/100** against essentials of **$734/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 41 101.7 Mbps median broadband, 73.3% online

Safety 86 2.3 homicides/100k (2022)

Healthcare 75 UHC service coverage 75/100 (2023)

Air quality 93 PM2.5 8.1 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**: strong
- World Bank WGI estimate 0.64 · corruption control 0.34 · stability 0.79 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $10.73 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $5.89/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
