Transparency in our data sources and approach.
Rent listing platforms (FincaRaiz, Properati, Inmuebles24), Numbeo community data, local supermarket and transport surveys, coworking rates, and expat community feedback.
Three tiers — frugal, average, comfortable — modeling different spending habits from shared housing and cooking at home to furnished apartments and regular dining out.
Quarterly updates for all cities. Rent and exchange rate data updated more frequently when significant shifts occur. Each city shows its data period and next refresh date.
All figures are estimates. Costs vary by neighborhood, lifestyle, season, and macroeconomic conditions. Exchange rates can shift rapidly. Use as benchmarks, not precise budgets.
