Best areas to live in Bengaluru

Air, heat, flood and greenery compared across 100 areas · free public data

Even in its worst months (Jan–Mar) a typical Bengaluru area averages 46 µg/m³ of PM2.5, inside India's daily limit; the yearly figure is 36 µg/m³. Where you live matters: Kakolu (30 µg/m³) and Chamrajpet (40 µg/m³) are 10 µg/m³ apart.

Heat stress is rare: most areas see under 1 hot or muggy day a year. The monsoon brings about 492 mm of rain. None of the 100 areas we compared sit inside the modelled river/coastal flood zone. Green cover within a short walk is about a quarter of the land in a typical area (23%).
