[OC] Affordability in European Cities (2026)

This is a newer version of the previous post .
Data source: Numbeo

In the previous post, many people wanted to see the cost of living associated with local income.
So, I used the affordability index, which is just the ratio of local purchasing power to cost of living multiplied by 100.
For instance, Paris has an affordability index of 188, meaning that the average local income in Paris can cover 1.88 times the average daily expenses.
Lower values (reddish colors) indicate less affordable cities, higher values (bluish colors) indicate more affordable cities, with the average local income.

I expanded the list of cities while maintaining map readability. But some were not present in the data source.

Notice that some cities might have inflated or deflated numbers compared to your expectations. This might be due to a flaw in the data source or other conditions like low population for that city.
