# Is 🇹🇿 Tanzania (Dodoma) a good place to live?

Quality score **54/100** against essentials of **$550/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 13 32.4 Mbps median broadband, 31.2% online

Safety 78 3.7 homicides/100k (2020)

Healthcare 49 UHC service coverage 49/100 (2023)

Air quality 77 PM2.5 15.2 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**: weak
- World Bank WGI estimate -0.52 · corruption control -0.29 · stability -0.39 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $27.53 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $8.62/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
