Taoyuan City is the closest match, 14.3 percentile points from George Town across 10 shared metrics. The two sit within eight percentile points of each other on places to eat, clean air and women aged 20–39. The band widens slowly from there: the last city listed sits 17.9 away, so these 10 are a cluster rather than a ranking with a clear winner. None of the 10 are in Malaysia. Distance says how alike two cities measure, never which one is better to live in: a city can be close to George Town 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.
