Kirkuk
7.8
Lower score (below 6)
Oil wealth built the city, but post-2017 it's a powder keg of competing claims between Baghdad and the Kurds — security is genuinely unstable and unpredictable. The infrastructure is decent by Iraqi standards, but the economy is crippled by political dispute and the population is war-fatigued; there's almost no social scene for outsiders and heavy scrutiny on foreign presence. You'd be visible in a way that creates actual risk, not just discomfort.
