Country overview
- Slovakia has a relatively small expat geography outside Bratislava, so the ranking and nationality mix in smaller cities are conservative estimates. Bratislava is the highest-confidence entry; the other cities have more uncertainty mainly around expat community size.
- Cost scores are anchored to Bratislava, so Bratislava is set roughly at the midpoint. Other Slovak cities come out as more affordable mainly for housing.
