What it is
Habitat Compass: the homepage
Habitat Compass is a free browser-based tool for digital nomads, remote workers and freelancers to compare overseas cities before relocating. Users complete a free standard assessment (32 scenario-based questions, 8 lifestyle preference questions and 16 interest tags, taking about 8 minutes), optionally followed by a deeper personality assessment (Big Five and RIASEC, about 15 minutes). The system scores 270 cities across 65 countries using a three-layer weighted algorithm based on hard constraints (budget, visa, safety), core matching (lifestyle preferences, personality, interests), and optional deeper factors. Results include visa information for Chinese passport holders and tax calculation for 48 countries with progressive tax rates.

Habitat Compass is a free city relocation decision tool for digital nomads, freelancers and remote workers that scores 270 cities across 65 countries using a three-layer weighted algorithm based on user responses and public data, generating a Top 5 report.
How does the assessment work and how long does it take?
The free standard assessment takes about 8 minutes and includes 32 scenario-based questions, 8 lifestyle preference questions and 16 interest tags. Users can optionally continue with a deeper assessment (Big Five and RIASEC) taking about 15 minutes.
Is there a fee or registration required?
All core features (assessment, city browsing, comparison, tax calculation) are completely free with no registration needed. Assessment and matching happen locally in the browser with no data upload, and the site uses no tracking cookies.
What should I look at after getting my shortlist?
Put the top two cities into the comparison page, then check the passport snapshot (Chinese mainland passport by default, other passports selectable on the passport page) and use the tax calculator for the same cities. These steps are for reference only and do not constitute visa or tax advice.
