A city score builds on its country’s context and adds local signals such as LGBTQ+ visibility, venues, events and tourism. A higher city score does not remove national restrictions.
BEHIND THIS SCORE
The source-based overview above adds local context. These are the recorded score components; the editorial research has not recalculated them.
Local adjustment is a component, not the final city score. The national context remains important.
Concepción uses IGLTA Pride/nightlife evidence and SERNATUR tourism context; scene and venue evidence are less complete than Santiago/Valparaíso.
