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
81
72% 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

59% coverage
Chasing price per square metre. Tolerates isolation, but a village that is emptying fast is a house that will never resell.
