Put them side by side.
For retirees with a shortlist: put up to six towns side by side, in one country or across several, on cost, safety, healthcare and climate. Where two figures cannot honestly meet, the cell says so instead of showing a number.
Pick at least 2 towns to compare.
Why some cells are empty
An empty cell means one of two different things, and the table says which. No data means we hold nothing yet and will when the research is done. Refused means we hold both figures and they cannot honestly meet — different registries counting different things — so putting them in one row would show you a difference that is partly just bookkeeping. We would rather show you nothing than that.
Why each town shows one rent figure — and says which
An observed asking price and a census median are not the same measurement. One is what landlords are listing this month; the other is what tenants across a whole area actually pay, including people who signed years ago. Averaging them would produce a number no reader could check, so each town shows one: the asking rent where we have it, else the rent tenants pay. The figure names its method, and every other rent we hold for that town is one tap away under "Which figure", with its own source and date.
You picked a few. We will rank every place we hold against your budget.
The report starts from the sourced figures in this table, then adds clearly labeled estimates for the costs no official source prices — and totals each town into a full monthly budget.
