The Cities that are Most and Least Livable in 2022

The Pandemic due to Covid-19 brought a lot of changes to the economy worldwide hence affecting the livability of many urban cities as the whole world faced consequences and major businesses were shut. Now, as things have gone back to normal, many of the urban cities have become desired places to live yet again.

Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) states the world’s most livable cities based on different categories. The ranking is done on the basis of five categories listed below. It also shows the weightage of each category. A score on 30 qualitative and quantitative measures across these categories is assigned.  

Culture & Environment (25%)

Education (10%)

Healthcare (20%)

Infrastructure (20%)

Stability (25%)

The qualitative factors are allocated as intolerable, undesirable, uncomfortable, tolerable, or acceptable by the team of professional analysts. Quantitative measures are given a score which is based on number of external data points. All the data is then quantified to provide a score between 1 and 100, 100 being the ideal score.

Top 10 most livable cities

Out of the 172 cities that are a part of rankings, many cities are located in Europe. However, in the list of top ten, three cities are from Canada: Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto. Vienna however, has been on the top of the list many times. It was number one in last 2019, but fell out of the list during the pandemic because of its famous museums and restaurants being shut.

Most of the least livable cities belong to conflict zones which is why they have low ratings. However, these regions are also home to some of the fastest growing cities offering many great opportunities to their determined residents.
