What we mean by belonging

Belonging is more than legal permission to live somewhere. It includes whether you can access healthcare, form relationships, build family, participate socially, support yourself, understand the historical context, and move through daily life without continually shrinking who you are. That's why every country here is scored across all seven of those dimensions together, not just one.
