Vaccines & Health Prep

The yellow-fever certificate position, the vaccines NaTHNaC recommends for most and some UK travellers, and whether malaria is a consideration — facts with the source page linked.

Homicide, Air Quality & Disaster Risk

Measured danger once there: intentional homicides per 100,000 and PM2.5 exposure from the World Bank, each with its year, beside the INFORM disaster-risk band.

GET /api/safety-stats.json

Health System Capacity

Doctors, nurses and hospital beds per 10,000 people beside the UHC coverage index — how much health system exists, not whether a visitor can use it.

GET /api/health-capacity.json

Driving Rules Abroad

Which side of the road, speed limits in the unit signed there, the drink-drive limit, equipment you must carry and whether you need an International Driving Permit.

Country Risk (INFORM)

Hazard exposure, vulnerability and whether institutions could cope — reported on its own, never folded into a cost or livability score.

Every figure here is computed, not collected

Nothing on this site is a crowdsourced estimate or an editorial top ten. Each tool runs a published dataset — World Bank, IMF, OECD, Eurostat, WHO, HUD — through an engine you can call yourself, and every JSON response carries a citation naming the source and the year it refers to. Where a figure is modelled rather than measured, the page says so.

Each tool above has a free JSON API and an MCP tool, listed on the card. See how it works or the ranked answers if you would rather start from a shortlist than a calculator.

Not sure which tool to start with? Ask the adviser what matters to you (Pro), and it will work through these figures for you.

Other questions
