Built for remote workers and relocators

Habistats ranks places by human-centered environmental comfort - combining weather patterns, air quality, and disaster risk into clear, explainable scores designed for real life (HECI - Human Environmental Comfort Index).

Important to note

This is not a "best places to live" ranking. HECI measures environmental comfort only - not cost of living, safety, politics, healthcare, job markets, or cultural factors that matter for relocation decisions.

These core components make up the HECI score (0-10, higher = more comfortable). Learn how we score →
