Campo Mourão, Brazil

Campo Mourão sits in the state of Paraná at an elevation of 627 m above sea level, operating on America/Sao_Paulo time and shaped by a subtropical climate. The city holds a population of 82 thousand. Among expats, the preferred residential area is Centro, the central neighborhood that concentrates everyday conveniences and the largest share of the foreign community, which remains very few in number.

Housing costs vary sharply by location and unit size. A 1-bedroom apartment in the city centre rents for $380/mo, while the same outside the centre drops to $80/mo. A 3-bedroom in the city centre is $299/mo, and outside the centre it is $169/mo. Utilities run $85/mo, internet $22/mo, and a mobile phone plan $11/mo. Excluding rent, a single person spends about $550/mo and a family of four about $1,650/mo. Budget, mid-range, and comfortable tiers for a single adult, rent included, come to $930/mo, $1,320/mo, and $1,850/mo respectively. The cost of living index is 41/100 against New York City at 100. Eating out is inexpensive: $6 per person at a cheap restaurant, $24 for a three-course mid-range meal for two, and $2 for a cappuccino.

Safety leans favorable, with a safety index of 60/100 and a crime index of 40/100, where a lower crime figure indicates a safer environment. Air quality registers 45 on an index where lower is better. Healthcare quality is rated fair. These numbers suggest a manageable day-to-day setting, though the limited English proficiency and very few expats mean most services and social life operate in Portuguese.

For stays, the retirement visa program is VITEM XIV, requiring a minimum monthly income of $2,000/mo, while the Brazil Digital Nomad Visa requires $1,500/mo. The nearest airport is CBW, 5 km away. Internet averages 35 Mbps. With an overall expat score of 77/100, a FIRE score of 79/100, a retiree score of 58/100, and a digital nomad score of 55/100, Campo Mourão best suits budget-focused retirees and early retirees who value low rent and quiet over a large expat scene or fast connectivity.
