Leading cities of intellectual capital in China in 2024, based on composite index score
The data represents a subset of the "Chinese cities of opportunity" report city ranking, which provides an overall ranking consisting of ten subsets with five variables each. Some variables are based on single indicators, others encompass sub-indicators. The variables are not weighted. Every city has a ranking against each variable. One point is awarded to each position up the table, with the scores of the corresponding positions arranged in descending order. As the ranking includes 57 cities, the highest score, for first place, is 57 points and the lowest score, for last place, is one point, with tied rankings receiving equal points. The sum of points awarded to each city for each variable constitutes its overall score for the subset. The primary data used for the ranking were mainly sourced from public sources as well as authoritative think tanks, universities, research institutes, or big data research. For a detailed description of each variable see original report page 39.
