🌟 QUALITY OF LIFE

Factor	Score	Trend	Weight	Notes
⚖️ Work-Life Balance +	7.6	--	30	Bermuda's relaxed island pace and strong culture of work-life balance, especially outside Hamilton, offer a good environment for digital nomads. However, the high cost of living and demanding finance sector jobs can occasionally offset this.

🧼 Cleanliness +	8.3	--	10	Bermuda has strict litter laws and regular waste collection, resulting in very clean streets and public spaces. The island's small size and affluent population contribute to immaculate surroundings.

🛵 Scooter/Bike Rental Availability +	5.8	--	10	Scooters are widely rented to tourists, with several shops in and near Flatts. Higher than St. George's (3.5) due to strong tourism demand, but below Curitiba (5.2) as the cost is relatively high.
