Cities similar to Cluj-Napoca

Ranked by how close each city sits to Cluj-Napoca across ten measured metrics: sex ratio, cost, rent, salary, safety, air, green space, places to eat and universities. Closer is more alike, not better.

Brasov is the closest match, 10.9 percentile points from Cluj-Napoca across 10 shared metrics. The two sit within eight percentile points of each other on green space, clean air and city-centre rent. The band widens slowly from there: the last city listed sits 15.8 away, so these 10 are a cluster rather than a ranking with a clear winner. 3 of the 10 are also in Romania; the other 7 are abroad. Distance says how alike two cities measure, never which one is better to live in: a city can be close to Cluj-Napoca 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.
