Monterrey is the closest match, 12.0 percentile points from Guadalajara across 10 shared metrics. The two sit within eight percentile points of each other on universities, city-centre rent and salary against local costs. The band widens slowly from there: the last city listed sits 19.1 away, so these 10 are a cluster rather than a ranking with a clear winner. 2 of the 10 are also in Mexico; the other 8 are abroad. Distance says how alike two cities measure, never which one is better to live in: a city can be close to Guadalajara 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.
