Who we are
Who makes Onde Viver Bem and how we work
An independent editorial project
Onde Viver Bem is an independent project made in Brazil. We gather public data, apply the same scoring rule to every city and show the source of every number. When a figure is missing, the city page says so. When we estimate, the number is marked “estimated” and the calculation is in the technical notes.
- Data
- Official statistics, WHO, Eurostat, OpenStreetMap, Overture Maps, property records and listings, linked on each city page.
- Updated
- November 10, 2026
- AI
- AI models help with research and drafting. No number comes from them.
- Money
- Some articles carry sponsored Amazon and Mercado Livre links, always labelled.

How the score is made
Each city gets a score from 0 to 10 across 13 criteria, such as safety, sun, air, water and health. The calculation is the same for all 56 cities and is described, weight by weight, in the methodology. The score is editorial and indicative: it is for comparing, not for deciding on its own.
Where the numbers come from
From public sources, cited with a link next to each value on the city page. When no local source exists, we use the national one and say so. When none works, we estimate, mark it “estimated” and explain the calculation.
What we do not do
We do not give investment, immigration, property or career advice. Cost of living is not part of the score. Land price is shown alongside, for comparison.
