# Is 🇹🇬 Togo (Lome) a good place to live?

Quality score **32/100** against essentials of **$630/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 16 40.6 Mbps median broadband, 39.5% online

Healthcare 42 UHC service coverage 42/100 (2023)

Air quality 37 PM2.5 33.3 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 -0.63 · corruption control -0.66 · stability -0.81 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $24.06 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $16.04/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
