Global Residency Atlas Where one lives, weighed
A discreet directory

Where, exactly, does one live well?

A measured atlas of 33,702 cities — ranked by the quieter virtues of a place: wealth preservation, tax efficiency, the rule of law, and the kind of beauty that endures.

The Atlas, today

Cities of consequence.

Ranked by a composite of banking depth, tax regime, residency, privacy and family-office presence.

The Method

Eight dimensions, plainly weighed.

For each ranked city we keep a score on banking depth, tax regime, residency pathway, the luxury fabric, international reach, privacy, family-office density — and a composite that reflects what wealth preservation actually requires.

Signals are gathered from open registers, named directories, and the considered observations of people who have lived in these places. We publish the score; we keep the workings.
