💰 COST & AFFORDABILITY

Factor	Score	Trend	Weight	Notes
💸 Cost of Living +	8.2	--	150	Kelibia is a small coastal town in Tunisia with generally low costs for digital nomads, though slightly higher than inland rural areas. Compared to very cheap cities like Pingyao (8.1), Kelibia is still very affordable but not at the extreme low end.

🏠 Accommodation Cost +	8.2	--	80	Short-term rentals are inexpensive, with monthly apartments often between $200-$400. This places it well above average on the low-cost scale, similar to David (7.7) but somewhat cheaper than Natitingou (9).

🍎 Food & Groceries +	8.5	--	40	Local markets and street food are very cheap; groceries from souks and small shops are budget-friendly. Compared to Antananarivo (8.5) and Kalkan (7.2), Kelibia offers excellent value for food expenses.

🚌 Transportation Cost +	7.9	--	20	Public transport like louages (shared taxis) and buses are very affordable, and fuel costs are subsidized. Similar to Quito (8.1) and Piatra Neamt (7.8), makes getting around cheap for nomads.

🏋️ Gym Membership Cost +	7.3	--	10	Basic local gyms cost around 30-50 TND ($10-$15) per month, making them extremely cheap. This is comparable to Lampang (7.6) and even cheaper, reflecting Tunisia's low service costs.

💱 Currency Stability +	5.4	--	30	The Tunisian dinar has moderate volatility with gradual depreciation and inflation around 7-8% annually. It is more stable than currencies like Berbérati (2.4) but less so than the euro in Vieste (9.2), similar to Debrecen (6.1).
