How ExpatPrice builds its ranges
ExpatPrice uses ranges because relocation data is noisy by neighborhood, building quality, season, and personal habits. A useful decision model should show uncertainty clearly instead of pretending fake precision is truth.

Why it wins
- Ranges stay more honest than pseudo-exact prices.
- Confidence tells you how hard to trust a metric today.
- Source notes show the logic behind the estimate.
Main risks
- Fast-moving cities go stale first.
- Luxury and rent vary heavily by micro-location.
- Visa, tax, and insurance always need final verification.
Why ranges
Rent is not one number. A $500 condo and a $900 condo can both be "Bangkok 1BR" depending on BTS access, age of the building, pool/gym quality, furnishing, and landlord quality.
The same applies to groceries, coworking, insurance, or delivery-heavy living. Ranges protect the product from false certainty.
Confidence model
high confidence
Official source or direct local portal, ideally cross-checked with another recent source.
medium confidence
Local portal, specialist guide, or public source that is useful but still sensitive to neighborhood and timing.
low confidence
Derived, broad, old, or single-source data. Treat it as a warning or first pass, not final truth.

Suggest a correction
If you know a city better than the current dataset, send the metric, the better range, and the source or field note behind it. The most useful corrections are neighborhood-specific and dated.
