A note on the data
Internet speed here comes from only 16 Speedtest runs. Treat it as a hint, not a measurement — one office with fibre can carry the whole average in a village this size.
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.

Chasing price per square metre. Tolerates isolation, but a village that is emptying fast is a house that will never resell.

Remote worker

Needs bandwidth and an airport more than it needs a pharmacy. Will trade services for cheap space and a fast train.
