Global Liveability Ranking

See also: Most livable cities

The Global Liveability Ranking is a yearly assessment published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), ranking 172 global cities (previously 140) for their quality of life based on assessments of stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Vienna was ranked the most liveable city in 2024, 2023, 2022, 2019, and 2018, and came second in 2017 and 2016. ^{[1] [2]} Auckland was highest ranked in 2021. Melbourne was highest ranked from 2011 to 2017. ^[3]

The Syrian capital Damascus was ranked the least liveable in 2018 and 2019, reflecting the effects of the Syrian civil war.

Before 2011, Vancouver, Canada, was ranked most liveable city from 2002 to 2010. In 2011 the EIU stated that a highway closure on Vancouver Island (separated from Vancouver by the Strait of Georgia and not connected by a bridge) resulted in the "small adjustment" to Vancouver's rating, suggesting a possible error in the 2011 rankings. ^[4] Beside Melbourne, Vienna and Vancouver, other most often recurring cities among the top 10 since 2015 are Calgary and Toronto.

Cities from the Western world typically dominate the top 10, reflecting their widespread availability of goods and services, low personal risk, and effective infrastructure. A 2010 opinion piece in The New York Times criticized the Economist Intelligence Unit for being overly Anglocentric, claiming that "The Economist equates liveability with speaking English." ^[5]

The EIU also publishes a biennial Worldwide Cost of Living Survey. ^{[6] [7]}
