What this index measures

High · scored 0–100

  1. 01

    Clinical outcomes and specialist depth

  2. 02

    Waiting times and access for new residents

  3. 03

    Private cover cost

Island and microstate jurisdictions often score in the 60s and 70s not for quality but for depth — complex care means a flight.

How the score is weighted

Each input is normalised to 0–100 across all 209 jurisdictions, then combined at the weights below. Weights sum to 100 and are held constant across every jurisdiction in an edition, so scores stay comparable.

Orion Index Score
Composite

The weighted composite of thirteen factors across four groups — financial, mobility & access, human development & services, and safety & livability. It answers one question: on balance, how well does this jurisdiction serve someone who can choose where to live and where to hold capital?

Tax Burden Index
Heaviest weight

Effective personal tax exposure for a mobile earner — headline income tax, plus how the jurisdiction treats foreign income, capital gains and wealth.

Cost of Living Index
Moderate

What a comparable standard of living costs on the ground — housing, schooling, services and the everyday basket.

Safety Index
High

Personal and civil safety — violent crime, property crime, and the risk of disorder or conflict spilling into daily life.

Passport Strength Index
Moderate

What the travel document is worth — visa-free reach, treaty position, and whether citizenship is realistically attainable.

Residency Access Index
Heaviest weight

How hard it is to actually land — time, cost, paperwork and the physical presence a jurisdiction demands of you.
