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.
