Montevideo is the closest match, 11.1 percentile points from Buenos Aires across 10 shared metrics. The two sit within eight percentile points of each other on city-centre rent, clean air and cost of living. The band widens slowly from there: the last city listed sits 18.5 away, so these 10 are a cluster rather than a ranking with a clear winner. 1 of the 10 is also in Argentina; the other 9 are abroad. Distance says how alike two cities measure, never which one is better to live in: a city can be close to Buenos Aires because both score badly on the same things.
921 cities ranked by male-to-female ratio, 848 of them measured below national level, 104 country deep-dives.
