These categories include Affordability, Economic stability, Family-friendliness, Job market, Income equality, Political neutrality and stability, Safety, Cultural influence, a Well-developed public education system, and a well-developed public health system. Each attribute was graded on a 100-point scale.

Raw data for countries were normalized on a 1-100 scale according to the following: Each indicator was given equal weighting within each of ten categories, with some indicators being comprised of 2-3 sub-indicators that were also weighted equally. Each category was weighted equally to arrive at the overall index.
