# Is 🇹🇹 Trinidad and Tobago (Port-of-Spain) a good place to live?

Quality score **66/100** against essentials of **$1,097/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 100 258.7 Mbps median broadband, 82.2% online

Safety 0 40.4 homicides/100k (2022)

Healthcare 75 UHC service coverage 75/100 (2023)

Air quality 90 PM2.5 9.6 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 -0.37 · corruption control -0.34 · stability 0.36 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $44.28 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $24.18/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
