Shanghai, Chinafor a entrepreneur / startup
Conditional fit
Weighted to a entrepreneur / startup'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.
Low entry barriers, talent and digital infrastructure — runway matters more than market size.

Property entry-window
Valuation not covered. OECD publishes no house-price series for China, so AGI will not fabricate an over/undervaluation. Demand 45, financing 94 shown instead. Pair with AI-Home's DLD-verified district data.
The same market, every profile
Shanghai ranks best for a family buying a home (68) and worst for a rental-income investor (46). Suitability, not popularity.
