The BPTLOE Index · first edition
The best place to live on Earth.
Dozens of world maps — climate, natural hazards, income, safety, health, freedom — stacked like layers and combined into a single score for every corner of the planet.
The answer is
We already know where it is. We're double-checking the data before we tell you.

01
One index for the whole planet
Every place on Earth scored on the same published, transparent criteria — from a 28 km grid up to provinces, regions and countries.
02
Your own best place
Move the sliders: more sun, fewer earthquakes, far from nuclear plants, close to a big city. The map re-ranks the world as you go.
03
A new edition every year
Places get warmer, richer, safer — or not. Each year a new ranking, and an archive to see who's rising and who's falling.
