How we use the global score
The 0-100 global score weighs 6 factors with different weights based on their impact on real profitability and investment risk:
- Tourist/residential demand (25%)
- Projected 5-year CAGR (20%)
- Airbnb occupancy (15%)
- Infrastructure (15%)
- Low risk (15%)
- Limited supply / less competition (10%)
There's no “perfect zone” — there are zones that fit your profile better. If you want maximum upside, prioritize projected CAGR. If you want safety, prioritize infrastructure and risk. If you want vacation rental, prioritize occupancy and ADR.
