Our Methodology
How we collect and process the cost of living data
Data Definition
We collect essential metrics like accommodation, food, transport, utilities, and leisure. All definitions are based on international standards and official sources.
We set consistent criteria for each indicator to ensure comparability across cities.
Data Collection
We obtain information from official sources, including statistical agencies and housing institutions.
Our automated pipelines perform scraping and API calls; a team manually verifies and corrects the data.
Data Processing and Analysis
Raw data undergoes cleaning, deduplication, and normalization based on population and purchasing power.
We apply weightings based on relevance and validate against historical benchmarks.
Objectives and Guarantees
Our goal is to provide accurate and up-to-date data with total transparency, including source and update date.
We have periodic reviews and community feedback channels to continuously improve our methodology.
