How to read this (remote-work buzz ranking)

“Heat score” is a simple transform of rank so you can compare year to year: a higher score means a higher rank on this list. With 110 cities, it is roughly (110 + 1 − this year’s rank). The prior-year column uses last year’s rank the same way.
The order is an editorial lineup we keep for navigation — not booking demand, border arrivals, or live charts from other sites.

The “prior year” columns use our earlier saved ranking for the same 110 cities. Heat scores come from rank for side-by-side years — not government visitor statistics, bookings, or UN DESA counts.
