| Metric | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Overall score | 90/100 | Composite score across major city intelligence modules. |
| Cost of Living | 60/100 | Singapore is expensive on rent and vehicles, balanced by strong transit, public services, and food-court price stability. |
| Air Quality | 80/100 | Singapore performs well on clean air with periodic regional haze events as the main exposure pressure. |
| Energy | 85/100 | Singapore is energy-import dependent but progressing on renewables, regional power imports, and strong building efficiency. |
| Safety | 95/100 | Singapore is among the safest cities globally, with very low violent-crime context and strong institutional response. |
| Internet Speed | 95/100 | Singapore is a global connectivity leader with very fast fiber, dense 5G mobile, and a digital-readiness culture across services. |
| Climate Risk | 65/100 | Singapore faces meaningful climate exposure from heat, intense rainfall, and long-run sea-level pressure, balanced by very strong adaptation capacity. |
| Resilience | 92/100 | Climate adaptation and infrastructure continuity context. |
