In a context where a worker has the possibility to settle in any location, namely due to the facil-ities generated by remote work, it is important to have a simple and easily accessible tool such that academics and decision-makers can understand which focusareas privilege to promote the settlement of people, and talent. This paper aims to develop a Creativity Index based on three fundamental pillars: i) Tolerance; ii) Talent; iii) Urbanisation and Labour Market. This tool enables the measurement of the capacity to attract and retain people at the scale of each municipality and region. In the end, the spatial analysis revealed, from a global perspective, the existence of spatial autocorrelation in the Creativity Index and in each of its three pillars and, from a local perspective, the formation of spatial clusters.The application of the Creativity Index to Portuguese municipalities highlights the municipalities of Lisboa, Porto,and Algarve’s touristic region as the main national creative hotspots. The municipal-ity of Barrancos, the Alto Alentejoregion and the northern and central interior region are positioned at the opposite end of the scale for retaining talent
