Kaohsiung City is the closest match, 6.4 percentile points from Taichung City across 10 shared metrics. The two sit within eight percentile points of each other on city-centre rent, local salary and clean air. The band widens slowly from there: the last city listed sits 17.5 away, so these 10 are a cluster rather than a ranking with a clear winner. 4 of the 10 are also in Taiwan; the other 6 are abroad. Distance says how alike two cities measure, never which one is better to live in: a city can be close to Taichung City 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.
