Liveability score

South Korea scores 68/100 for liveability, rank 28 of 50. It's a weighted average of seven dimensions, identical for every country; the breakdown is in the sidebar and the method is here.

What drives it

Strongest: Safety (92). Weakest: Visa & bureaucracy (44). A wide gap means the country will suit some movers very well and frustrate others.

Expat saturation

Foreign-born share of population: 4% — moderate. Established expat pockets, most locals still local.

How to use it

Treat the score as a shortlist tool and the dimensions as the decision tool. Sort the home board by the dimension that matters most to you.
