# Is 🇱🇨 Saint Lucia (Castries) a good place to live?

Quality score **53/100** against essentials of **$1,076/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 44 108.8 Mbps median broadband, 68.2% online

Safety 0 39 homicides/100k (2023)

Healthcare 75 UHC service coverage 75/100 (2023)

Air quality 92 PM2.5 8.8 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 0.5 · corruption control 0.45 · stability 1.04 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $42.52 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $45.56/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
