Who it fits
Three ways of wanting a village
Each score weights the axes differently. Coverage says how much of that weighting we could actually fill — a score built on fewer axes is a weaker claim.
Retiree / semi-retired

37% coverage
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.
