About Life Indexed

Free, open worldwide data on how people live β€” salaries, costs, property, tax, healthcare and baby names across 100+ countries.

What is Life Indexed?

Life Indexed is a free data platform that helps people compare the realities of daily life across countries and regions. Whether you're planning to relocate, negotiating a salary, buying property abroad, or simply curious about how the world lives β€” we've built the resource we always wished existed.

We publish structured, standardised data across six core topics: salaries, cost of living, property prices, tax rates, healthcare, and baby names. Each dataset covers multiple years and is organised by region, country and city so you can drill down to exactly what you need.
