Reus is a city and Spain a country. Each figure is that place’s own; scores compare each with its own peers (Spain with EU countries, regions with regions, cities with cities), so read them side by side rather than as a contest.
Watch out: Recorded crime and burglary that are high for a city of this size; A job market that is thin outside commerce and services.
Watch out: Job openings and pay that differ widely by region and sector; Procedures that vary by region and often run only in Spanish.
Of 6 figures both publish in the same unit, Reus is better on 0 and Spain on 2; the rest are close or have no better direction.
