I get this comment a lot. I agree that it makes sense to compare also local salaries to see which city is the cheapest one to live in as an employee. However, Expatistan is not about finding cheap cities to work in. It's about comparin

At the moment I have no plans to open the data completely. I do sometimes share the data with particular projects or developers on a case-by-case basis. If you are thinking about using the data for something interesting, you can contact me

Yes, currently we have only one accommodation type. We started collecting prices for different ones a while ago. We are now reaching the point where we already have enough data to include the new types of housing in the public index.

Yes, there are a number of international institutions collecting this data, and almost every single national statistical office collect price data regularly. Sadly, they tend not to make the raw data available.

The creator of Expatistan here. No, it is not the same data. Both sites follow a similar principle but we do not share data.

The creator here. That's a nasty error. Mountain View is stored internally as "Mountain View, California" and therefore the usual form of Mountain View does not match. Moreover, this error also shows that at least in this case partial match

I can find at least 4 paragraphs directly related to the title, explaining why the author considers this is not a case of a "rogue trader" but of a "rogue industry". That's about 25% of the article devoted exactly to what the title says (th

Nice site and design. It seems it doesn't really add much to YSlow but it's nice anyway. It does have the same problem that all the other speed checkers that I've tried. When you have a decently optimized page, most of the errors or problem

The way I see it, the "what about emergencies?" argument is not so much about someone in an emergency being able to reach you to ask for help or to inform you. It's a matter of YOU having a phone to make an emergency call to 911 when/if you

I may be missing the point here, but I don't think that this announcement actually says much about what we as individual publishers can expect as rev share. What I understand from the article is that 68% of the aggregated revenue generate
