# Is 🇨🇬 Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville) a good place to live?

Quality score **40/100** against essentials of **$657/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 23 57.5 Mbps median broadband, 47.3% online

Healthcare 45 UHC service coverage 45/100 (2023)

Air quality 51 PM2.5 27.2 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 -1.18 · corruption control -1.42 · stability -0.26 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $24.06 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $23.85/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
