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

4 of 9 axes measured (44% coverage). No data yet for access, climate, air, cost, community — those axes are excluded from every score on this page, not counted as zero.

The honest part
Who lives here, and for how much longer
On current births and deaths alone, the population changes by -17.7% over twenty years. It is a projection, not a forecast — no migration is modelled.

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
91
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.

Cheap-house renovator

35% coverage
Chasing price per square metre. Tolerates isolation, but a village that is emptying fast is a house that will never resell.
