Why MetroVersus Exists
We compare cities so you can think clearly. Not everyone needs a 40-page report. Sometimes you need a quick, honest snapshot—then you go deeper.
MetroVersus is a city comparison website built to help travelers, remote workers, students, and the endlessly curious. It’s also for locals who want context: “Is my city expensive, or is it just me?”
How we build comparisons
We compile, normalize, and present indicators from multiple sources. Some inputs are public datasets; others are aggregated community signals; some are derived metrics created by our internal models. We then group them into readable categories and allow side-by-side comparisons.
Transparency promise: We aim to explain what a score means, not just throw numbers around. When a metric is uncertain, we try to communicate that uncertainty.
What MetroVersus is not
- Not a government dataset portal.
- Not a guaranteed “truth engine”.
- Not a substitute for official sources, professional advice, or local knowledge.
Data notes (the honest version)
City life shifts. Prices change. Safety patterns evolve. Infrastructure improves, then breaks, then improves again. Because MetroVersus compiles data from different time windows, some information may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.
We work to correct errors when we find them. If you see something off, tell us—we genuinely appreciate it.
Who’s behind this?
MetroVersus is built by a small team of builders who care about data, UX, and practical decision-making. We believe comparisons should be fast, fair, and explained in plain language. Short sentences when they help. Long ones when nuance matters.
