💻 DIGITAL NOMAD ESSENTIALS

Factor	Score	Trend	Weight	Notes
🚀 Internet Speed +	3.4	--	100	Limited and unreliable internet, typically 2-5 Mbps if available; far below Monrovia's standards, similar to Mbale but slightly better due to coastal proximity.

🌟 QUALITY OF LIFE

Factor	Score	Trend	Weight	Notes
⚖️ Work-Life Balance +	6.9	--	30	Limited coworking spaces and internet reliability hinder productivity, but the relaxed coastal lifestyle and low cost of living can support a slow-paced remote work routine.

🌿 CLIMATE & ENVIRONMENT

Factor	Score	Trend	Weight	Notes

🌪️ Natural Disaster Risk +	5.0	--	10	Robertsport faces significant flooding risk from coastal storms and heavy rains, especially during the rainy season. While not prone to major earthquakes or hurricanes, the combination of erosion and poor drainage elevates the hazard level.

⚡ Power Grid Reliability +	2.3	--	15	Frequent and prolonged power outages are common, with diesel generators as backup; reliability is worse than Swat's 4.2.

📶 Public WiFi Availability +	2.1	--	10	Essentially no public WiFi options; a few hotels may offer weak connections, but availability is even lower than Nanumea's 1.2.
