LUNGSOD'S
LIVABILITY INDEX
What is the Livability Index?
The Livability Index is LUNGSOD's tool for
measuring a city's livability to give you an
idea of the quality of life you can attain in
a city by giving it a livability score.
What parts of livability does
the index measure?
When you think about it, livability is the
experience of a combination of factors.
That’s LUNGSOD’s Livability Index gives you
a livability score based on the total average
of eight categories that are considered
necessary for livability.

THE LIVABILITY SCORE
is the big number displayed on each city page. A city given a score between 1-10, but
with the whole point of our database being to bring you the best, most of what you’ll
see already has a 7-10 rating! The livability score is the end result of all the math.

THE CATEGORY SCORE
is a score assigned to each category for livability, that also ranges from 1-10. The
livability score alone is not enough to tell you specifically, what a city excels at. With
the category scores, you can refine your search.
Do you only care about finding a city with plenty of job opportunites? Do you want a
city that’s well rounded with what it offers? Do you have kids and want to find cities
that could offer the best education for them? These are the sort of questions that the
category scores exist to answer.
LOW, AVERAGE, & HIGH RATINGS
Both category scores and livability scores are rated on a simple scale from 1-10.
Assessing broad categories and an entire city shouldn’t as simple as rating it
from 1-10, right?
But it can be. LUNGSOD’s Livability Index divides the 1-10 scale into a range that
determines whether a rating should be considered low, average, or high.
LUNGSOD uses the richest, most advanced cities in
the country, such as Metro Manila, as its metric.
LOW: 1-4 
AVERAGE: 5-7 
HIGH: 8-10
