3 villages · 9 measured axes

Retire in Italy

Retiring somewhere puts the weight on different things: a pharmacy and a doctor you can reach, a winter you can stand, air you can breathe, and neighbours who are still there. This list is ranked on exactly those axes, with the coverage behind every score shown next to it.

How this list is ordered

Weighted for the retiree / semi-retired

Wants a doctor nearby, a hospital that exists, sun, a house that costs less than the flat back home, and other foreigners to talk to.

A note on the data

Coverage is shown beside every score because they are not the same claim. A 86 built from eight measured axes is not the 86 you get from four. Where an axis has no trustworthy data it is dropped and the remaining weights are renormalised — never filled with a zero.
