Cities similar to Taipei City

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

Zagreb is the closest match, 10.7 percentile points from Taipei City across 10 shared metrics. The two sit within eight percentile points of each other on clean air, universities and green space. The band widens slowly from there: the last city listed sits 17.0 away, so these 10 are a cluster rather than a ranking with a clear winner. 1 of the 10 is also in Taiwan; 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 Taipei 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.
