# Is 🇸🇨 Seychelles (Victoria) a good place to live?

Quality score **61/100** against essentials of **$1,316/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 21 51.8 Mbps median broadband, 87.8% online

Safety 52 8 homicides/100k (2022)

Healthcare 80 UHC service coverage 80/100 (2023)

Air quality 90 PM2.5 9.7 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**: strong
- World Bank WGI estimate 0.6 · corruption control 1.23 · stability 0.92 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $13.49 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $32.48/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
