Living in Timișoara.

The main city of western Romania, close to the Hungarian and Serbian borders, and a European Capital of Culture in 2023. It is the cheapest of the four Romanian cities here to rent in, and its summers are nearly as hot as Bucharest's: July and August average highs near 30 °C leave five months a year in the 15–28 °C comfort band.

Resident population of the municipality of Timișoara (Timiș county) at the 2021 census reference date, read from the row "MUNICIPIUL TIMIȘOARA" (SIRUTA 155243) of the census's own workbook: 250,849 (116,874 men, 133,975 women). On this count it is Romania's fifth-largest city, after Bucharest (1,716,961), Cluj-Napoca (286,598), Iași (271,692) and Constanța (263,688), and just ahead of Brașov (237,589). The same workbook gives Cluj-Napoca exactly the 286,598 already recorded in this dataset, which is the check that the row was read correctly. The census counts people where they usually live, not where they are registered.

FLAT BY LOCATION. Storia publishes one city-wide average per room count and no district split for Timișoara, so the centre and outside-centre columns carry the same number; they are not two observations. The one neighbourhood-level figure found in print, an Imobiliare.ro breakdown reproduced by the local press, averages all apartment sizes together and so measures each area's housing mix as much as its location, and the reproduction contradicts itself on the 2-room figure — it is not used.

Validated (E1a, verification flag 1) 2022 annual mean at station RO0194A "TM-2", an urban background site of the national network at 45.7547°N 21.2349°E, 0.7 km from the city centre: 12.584197 µg/m³ on 86.85% data coverage, queried from the EEA statistics service on 2026-09-24. The WHO Ambient Air Quality Database v8.0 (2026) carries the same 12.58 µg/m³ for Timisoara/ROU in 2022 at 87% coverage, so the two are one measurement. 2022 is the latest year with a usable PM2.5 annual mean for the city: the database's Timișoara rows for 2023 and 2024 carry no PM2.5 value, and the 2025 reading at the same station (13.29) rests on 23% coverage.
Notes
OLDER AND THINNER than the other Romanian cities here, which use 2024. One station, and coverage of 86.85% sits below the EU's 90% data-quality objective — as do the figures published for Lisbon, Porto and İzmir in this dataset. The series has no clear trend: 14.15 µg/m³ in 2021 (76% coverage), 12.58 in 2022; the 2013–2019 values in the WHO database run from 9.98 to 21.49, most of them on coverage below 90%. Lower than Cluj-Napoca (16.5 in 2024) and Brașov (14.0 in 2024), about 2.5× the WHO 2021 guideline of 5 µg/m³, and above the EU limit of 10 that applies from 2030.

Curated by SettleMetric

Data as of

Verified
Jul 4, 2026
Method
Comprehensive private health plans that include hospitalization and surgery (outpatient + inpatient): Signal Iduna 360 Care starts 380 RON/mo, with a stated 34-year-old example at 424 RON/mo; premium all-inclusive tiers (Groupama, Regina Maria, MedLife/Medicover subscriptions with hospital cover) run up to ~650 RON/mo. Healthy-35-year-old midpoint ≈ 460 RON/mo ≈ 5,520 RON/yr ≈ $1,200; recorded $1,250 (range ≈ $1,000–$1,700 at 4.59 RON/USD). Premiums are quoted on request, so this is a curated market midpoint, not a public engine quote.
Notes
Residents are covered by mandatory public health insurance (CASS/CNAS); private cover is optional. Many buy only a cheaper outpatient medical subscription (abonament, ~150–250 RON/mo) and use the public system for hospital care. This figure is the with-inpatient comprehensive tier, chosen to be comparable with other countries' comprehensive plans.

What this measures

Quality of in-country parcel delivery. excellent = nationwide next-day widely available, dense parcel-locker network, real-time tracking standard; good = 1–3 day delivery, lockers in major cities; basic = reliable but slow (3–7 days), mostly to-door or post-office pickup; poor = unreliable delivery, street addresses often unusable, informal workarounds common.

Notes
Intra-EU shipping is frictionless (single market; all major carriers; Romania in Schengen since 2025). Non-EU imports: the €150 duty-free threshold was removed EU-wide on 2026-07-01 — a temporary flat duty applies to low-value consignments until the 2028 Customs Data Hub; VAT collected at checkout via IOSS. DHL, UPS, FedEx, GLS all deliver door-to-door. Predictable but no longer duty-free.

M-Lab NDT is single-stream and reads below Ookla-style figures — comparable only within this criterion. Romania is known for very fast, cheap fibre; the true typical fibre speed is far higher, but only M-Lab is used here for cross-country consistency.

Data as of
Jul 4, 2026
Verified
Jul 4, 2026
Method
Comprehensive private health plans that include hospitalization and surgery (outpatient + inpatient): Signal Iduna 360 Care starts 380 RON/mo, with a stated 34-year-old example at 424 RON/mo; premium all-inclusive tiers (Groupama, Regina Maria, MedLife/Medicover subscriptions with hospital cover) run up to ~650 RON/mo. Healthy-35-year-old midpoint ≈ 460 RON/mo ≈ 5,520 RON/yr ≈ $1,200; recorded $1,250 (range ≈ $1,000–$1,700 at 4.59 RON/USD). Premiums are quoted on request, so this is a curated market midpoint, not a public engine quote.
Notes
Residents are covered by mandatory public health insurance (CASS/CNAS); private cover is optional. Many buy only a cheaper outpatient medical subscription (abonament, ~150–250 RON/mo) and use the public system for hospital care. This figure is the with-inpatient comprehensive tier, chosen to be comparable with other countries' comprehensive plans.

Openness to foreignerscountry-levelReservedGallup MAI 2.93/9 · 2016

What this measures

How accepting the resident population is of migrants and foreigners — the inverse of xenophobia, a real concern for someone relocating. Our own five-band reading (very-open / open / moderate / reserved / low) informed primarily by the Gallup Migrant Acceptance Index (0–9 scale: three questions on migrants living in the country, becoming neighbours, and marrying into the family; 2019 wave), cross-checked where available with the World Values Survey wave 7 / European Values Study 2017 question on whether people would not want immigrants or foreign workers as neighbours (a higher share = more hostile). Banding guide against the Gallup 0–9 score: ≥7.0 very-open, 5.5–7.0 open, 4.0–5.5 moderate, 2.5–4.0 reserved, below 2.5 low (the 2019 global average of 5.21 sits in 'moderate'). Country level only: no credible city-level survey of attitudes to foreigners exists, so on city pages the country reading is shown as country context. Gallup is a research source cited with attribution, not republished in bulk; the raw index score/year and any cross-check figure are carried inside each value. Value shape: { band, gallupMai?, gallupYear?, unwantedNeighborPct?, unwantedNeighborSource? }. Display-only: attitudinal, survey-based and ~2019 vintage, so it is shown as honest context and never folded into the composite score.

Method
Eurostat usual-resident population 1 Jan 2025: total 19,043,151; Romanian nationals 18,674,247; stateless 293; unknown 234 → foreign nationals ≈ 368,377 = 1.93% (2024: ≈286,060 = 1.5%). This register basis already counts the Ukrainians recorded as usual residents (133,208). Eurostat's temporary-protection register (migr_asytpsm) separately shows 209,735 Ukrainians under temporary protection in Romania (May 2026); the overlap with the resident register is uncertain, so counting all temporary-protection beneficiaries on top could raise the effective share to roughly 2.5–3%. The verified register figure is 1.9%.
Notes
Romania has one of the EU's lowest foreign-national shares. Basis: Eurostat usual-resident population by citizenship. Temporary-protection Ukrainians (≈210k, May 2026) are noted separately because their overlap with the resident register is not published.

Method
INS 2024 single-adult household basket: total spending ≈ 3,972 RON/mo, of which consumption ≈ 60.6% ≈ 2,407 RON; minus a small actual-rentals component (Romanian households mostly own, imputed rent excluded) → ≈ 2,335 RON/mo of consumption excluding rent. Converted at 4.59 RON/USD (ECB 5.2321 RON/EUR ÷ 1.1399 USD/EUR, 2026-07-02) → ≈ $509, rounded to $510. Utilities are kept in the basket; only pure rent is excluded. National figure — Bucharest runs somewhat higher.

Method
Months whose mean daily maximum is between 15 and 28 °C and whose precipitation is under 150 mm: Apr (18.8 °C), May (23.7), Jun (27.4), Sep (24.1), Oct (18.3) = 5. July (29.7) and August (29.9) are excluded as too hot, March (12.6) and November (11.5) as too cold. The precipitation test excludes nothing: the wettest month is June at 80.8 mm.
Notes
Two fewer than Cluj-Napoca, for the opposite reason: Cluj-Napoca keeps July and August (26.7 and 27.0 °C) and loses only its cold months, while Timișoara loses its two warmest months to the 28 °C ceiling.
