Roadmap
Where the index is headed
CityFunIndex covers 134 US cities today, across 50 states + DC. Here is the plan from here — stated plainly, because where coverage is going is part of what the index is worth.
Every city is measured the same way — 23 factors, one transparent Fun Score, recomputed daily. That comparability is the whole point, and it is exactly what makes the index worth expanding: the more cities on one scale, the more useful every comparison becomes. Coverage grows in four steps.

Where we're headed
Thousands of cities
A global Fun Score database — thousands of cities worldwide, every one measured the same way.
Why international is on the map
Seven of the 23 factors already draw on global data sources — OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, world news tone, place reviews and search interest don’t stop at the US border. Taking the index international means adapting the remaining, US-specific signals to each country’s equivalent data, and publishing a per-country view of which factors are live. The destination is a single Fun Score database holding thousands of cities worldwide, every one measured on the same scale.
