This is Part 4 of the USI series and covers the second half of European cities (DACH, CZ, PL, Scandinavia. Yes, Berlin and Munich are on these charts!)
**Data sources:**
• Numbeo (1-bedroom rent & food anchor)
• National statistical agencies (CZ, PL)
• Glassdoor (DACH & Scandinavia, where official city-level salary data was limited)
**Index definition:**
USI = Housing burden + Essential food share (% of gross income)
Housing burden = 1BR rent / median income
Food share = simplified essential consumption proxy
Both components are shown separately for transparency.
The index reflects structural urban cost pressure for a single full-time worker, not full household budgets.
**Income metric:**
Median gross income of full-time employees (city-level where available).
National averages (e.g. Eurostat) are not used.

Several people asked about Southern Europe and the Balkans in Part 1.
I’m planning a follow-up covering more countries.
The main difficulty is finding consistent city-level median gross income (FTE) data. If anyone has reliable sources from national statistical agencies, I’d really appreciate pointers.
