How Split ranks

Scores run 0 to 100 against every municipality in Croatia. Ranks count only the places that pass each profile's minimums, so the totals differ by profile. Local data: official statistics on demographics, education and family, health and elderly, jobs and economy and safety and community (local or regional figures, sources on every place page) plus population and geography.
