Nomad test

Test period

Grades, where Berlin is the 3.0 reference except on weather:1.0–1.5 very good1.6–2.5 good2.6–3.5 satisfactory3.6–4.5 adequate4.6–5.0 poor

Nomads there, family cost and air quality are graded on their ratio to Berlin: twice Berlin's nomads is one grade better, half its family cost one and a half grades better. The single-nomad cost under each family cost is coloured on the same scale. Liked is smoothed toward 70% with ten phantom votes, so a handful of likes can't top the table. Nomad Score is graded on the difference. Daytime high is graded against your ideal of 26–27°C: inside it scores 1.0, colder slides steadily to 5.0 at Berlin's own high for the period (so anything as cold as Berlin is poor), and hotter loses a grade per 2°C above 27°C. Only measured highs are graded; ~ values aren't. The verdict averages the grades by the weight under each heading: click a square or use − and +, and a weight of 0 leaves that grade out. A city with no nomad counts for the period gets no verdict.

Data: Nomads.com city data fetched 14 Sep 2026 (costs, likes, nomads, Nomad Score, humidity, typical temperatures). Daytime highs: Open-Meteo archive, Sep 2025 – Aug 2026; a ~ marks Nomads.com's typical daytime temperature where highs aren't fetched yet. Air quality: Open-Meteo CAMS model, Dec 2025 – Mar 2026, top 450 cities by winter nomads, so it's only graded when the period stays within those months. Cities costing more than Berlin for a family are greyed.
