Data sources & licences
GooferPlaces combines observations from several publishers. Each source keeps its own licence and attribution requirements.
Reuse of comparison data
The licence link on our datasets refers to these source-specific terms. It does not put the entire collection under one open licence or grant additional rights over third-party data. Keep each observation’s source, date, geographic scope, confidence and any calculation notes with it.
Some published references have restrictions, and some saved sources do not establish an exact reuse licence. The entries below identify both. Comparison CSVs omit numerical values from sources with explicitly restrictive redistribution terms and retain a source pointer.
GooferPlaces selects and presents the observations. Estimates, currency conversions, rent-footprint conversions and other changes are identified with the affected figures. Original publishers do not endorse these comparisons. Eurostat is not responsible for any transformations or conclusions.
For a location’s text, photographs and individual records, use the Credits & licences link on that location’s guide. Source terms reviewed 8 October 2026; observation dates remain unchanged.
