What you get

A direct verdict

01

A rule-based summary of which city wins on cost and which on quality — no opinion, just the data.

Sourced deltas

02

The biggest gaps, each with direction, percentage, source and observation date.

Exports

03

Every comparison is downloadable as JSON and Markdown — built for citation by people and agents.

For agents & researchers

Comparison pages resolve from a stable /compare/{a}-vs-{b}/ URL and expose the same values as JSON. Near-duplicate pairs are marked non-indexable so citations point to the canonical comparison.

FAQ

How many comparisons are available?

The comparison catalog is curated so the static export stays small while city pages continue to grow.

Where are the detailed metrics?

On each city page. The comparison page links to both city pages and to the pair JSON export.

What if two cities are statistically similar?

When fewer than three meaningful differences exist, the verdict says so plainly — the choice comes down to preference. Near-identical comparisons are marked non-indexable but the side-by-side data is still shown.
