Albania
Generated: 2026-10-01

- Albania has a growing but still relatively small expat ecosystem outside Tirana and the coastal cities, so the lower ranks rely on conservative estimation.
- Cost scores are calibrated against Bratislava; most Albanian cities come out clearly cheaper for housing and everyday food.
