Chisinau is the closest match, 14.2 percentile points from Medellin across 10 shared metrics. The two sit within eight percentile points of each other on universities, clean air and cost of living. The band widens slowly from there: the last city listed sits 18.6 away, so these 10 are a cluster rather than a ranking with a clear winner. 1 of the 10 is also in Colombia; 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 Medellin 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.
