🌟 QUALITY OF LIFE

Factor	Score	Trend	Weight	Notes
⚖️ Work-Life Balance +	7.1	--	30	Fort Worth offers a relaxed, family-oriented atmosphere with reasonable work hours and a growing coworking scene, but lacks the extreme flexibility of top-tier nomad hubs.

🌿 CLIMATE & ENVIRONMENT

Factor	Score	Trend	Weight	Notes
☀️ Weather +	4.8	--	80	August in Fort Worth is extremely hot and humid with average highs around 95°F (35°C), often feeling oppressive. This is significantly less comfortable than the mild climates of Margaret River or Atauro Island, and closer to the harsh conditions of Faisalabad.
