La Plata is the closest match, 10.7 percentile points from Cali across 10 shared metrics. The two sit within eight percentile points of each other on safety, cost of living and salary against local costs. The band widens slowly from there: the last city listed sits 14.0 away, so these 10 are a cluster rather than a ranking with a clear winner. None of the 10 are in Colombia. Distance says how alike two cities measure, never which one is better to live in: a city can be close to Cali 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.
