Every Yasothon area, scored.

The BAANLYY Area Score rates all 4 Yasothon living areas on a transparent 100-point scale, built from eight lived-experience factors. One number to compare at a glance — then dig into the detail that matters for a small-town Isaan base.

How it's scored: each area is rated 1–10 on eight factors — value, infrastructure & services, culture & heritage, quiet, transport access, rental depth, walkability and family suitability — and the BAANLYY Area Score is their average on a 0–100 scale. Yasothon publishes almost no structured housing data and its advertised rental market is tiny (see the rental market guide for exactly what we could and could not verify), so these scores are deliberately conservative and directional rather than precise. It's a transparent comparison starting point, not investment advice — weight the factors that matter to you.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What is the BAANLYY Yasothon Area Score?The BAANLYY Area Score is a transparent 0–100 rating for each of Yasothon's four core living areas. It's the average of eight lived-experience factors — value, infrastructure & services, culture & heritage, quiet, transport access, rental depth, walkability and family suitability — each scored out of 10 from BAANLYY's Yasothon dataset, then converted to a 100-point scale. Yasothon is a small Isaan province with almost no published structured housing data, so these scores are conservative editorial estimates derived from each area's real geography and role, not a precise benchmark. It's a starting point for comparison, not investment advice.
Why is transport scored on road & bus rather than rail and air?Because Yasothon has neither. There is no railway station and no airport anywhere in the province — the town sits at the intersection of Routes 23 and 202, at the southern end of Route 2169, about 500km from Bangkok, and bus is the only scheduled public transport in or out. Scoring transport on a rail-and-air scale would silently compare Yasothon against hub cities on a factor it cannot compete on, so the label and the ceiling both reflect road access instead.
Which Yasothon area scores highest?On the current overall score, Nai Mueang — the old town & the Chi riverside leads with a BAANLYY Area Score of 69, followed by Samran, Tat Thong & the Route 23 belt (61) and Phaya Thaen Park & the eastern bypass (60). Scores balance all eight factors — your personal best area depends on whether you weigh heritage and walkability, proximity to the hospital and the apartment stock, or the cheapest possible rural rent.
How should I use the score in Yasothon?Use the overall score to shortlist, then dig into the factor that matters most for how you'll actually live here. Anyone who wants to walk to temples, markets and a hospital weighs culture and walkability toward Nai Mueang; anyone who wants a modern apartment room with parking weighs rental depth toward the Samran and Tat Thong belt on Route 23; anyone who wants quiet and the lowest possible rent weighs value and quiet toward Loeng Nok Tha and the northern districts, and should budget for a vehicle.
