Shanghai, Chinafor a family buying a home
Conditional fit
Weighted to a family buying a home's priorities, Shanghai scores 68/100 — conditional fit. No OECD house-price valuation for China, so the property entry-window is not scored — AI-Home's DLD data fills this.
Safety, stability, affordability and long-term quality of life — return never outweighs these.
