# Is 🇸🇩 Sudan (Khartoum) a good place to live?

Quality score **33/100** against essentials of **$429/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 6 15.7 Mbps median broadband, 18.6% online

Healthcare 48 UHC service coverage 48/100 (2023)

Air quality 45 PM2.5 29.8 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**: very weak
- World Bank WGI estimate -1.77 · corruption control -1.56 · stability -2.02 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $23.07 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $4.17/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
