Frequently asked questions

Teplice or Praha: which is better to live in?

In the 17 town rankings both are in, Teplice comes out ahead in 9 and Praha in 8. Teplice is furthest ahead on: cheapest flats to buy, cheapest rent, buy vs. rent. Praha on: longest life, lowest unemployment, highest pensions. What matters is up to you: every ranking has its own page.

How are the towns compared?

Each town has its place in a ranking by one figure (rent per square metre, the price of water, doctors per resident...). The one ranked higher comes out ahead. The bar shows how many towns rank below it, so rankings in different units compare too.

Why do Prague, Brno and Ostrava have fewer rankings?

The big cities are only in rankings where a figure for the whole city compares fairly with a smaller town’s: housing prices, water, heating, accidents, life expectancy, land and people. Schools or doctors per resident are compared by neighbourhood, not for the whole city.
