Best areas to live in Ranchi

Air, heat, flood and greenery compared across 15 areas · free public data

Air is the main story: a typical Ranchi area averages 56 µg/m³ of PM2.5 a year, and Nov–Jan pushes that to 87 µg/m³ — above India's daily limit of 60. Where you live matters: Guru (52 µg/m³) and Krishnapuri S O (59 µg/m³) are 7 µg/m³ apart.

A typical area has about 25 hot or muggy days a year; the hottest typical day reaches 43°C. The monsoon brings about 1,168 mm of rain. None of the 15 areas we compared sit inside the modelled river/coastal flood zone. Green cover within a short walk is nearly half of the land in a typical area (49%).
