The standard of living of the population is always influenced by various factors. This could be economic stability, comfortable living conditions, level of education, places to relax and much more. When choosing the best cities to live in the world, you should study the ratings as carefully as possible. They are compiled by many analytical companies, among which the most authoritative is the Economist Intelligence Unit.

15.Paris

14.Barcelona

The 21st century has just begun, and Russia has already suffered 3 enormous economic shocks. And now we are waiting for improvement to come, and for our capricious “Mr. GDP” (we are talking about the gross product!) to slowly but surely begin to gain height. Our well-being will grow along with it, but for now, we are making plans for tomorrow, for the week, for the year. We read the news chronicle, wonder where this notorious place is, where everyone is happy, and think why we are still not there.
Read the works of the American psychologist Maslow. In one of his treatises, he draws a direct connection between the level of development of a city (its infrastructure, climate, economy, the ability to provide the population with jobs) and the possibility of procreation. In developed populated areas It’s more convenient to start a business and build a career, get an education and even relax.
Russia, of course, is united, but regions within the country are developing differently. Why this happens is a topic for another discussion. Our goal is to find out which city in our state has the highest standard of living, and, accordingly, where it is more convenient for us to live, raise children, study, and work. Since this issue is of great interest to ordinary citizens, most rating agencies and social institutions.
The level of trust in such a large-scale study depends on the purity of the experiment, the chosen evaluation criteria and the status of its organizers. In general, it is everyone’s personal choice to believe or not to believe. In our case, when compiling a rating of Russian cities by standard of living, analysts used several effective approaches to produce an adequate result. There is no question of lobbying someone’s interests, because:
- the study was carried out by the Department of Sociology of the Financial University (a body operating under the Government of the Russian Federation);
- the analysis was carried out among 38 largest cities;
- The opinion of ordinary citizens obtained during surveys and information from Rosstat were taken into account.
The assessment was carried out according to important criteria:
- social sphere: level of well-being, types educational services, their availability, efficiency of health care services;
- the functionality of public services, the presence of new buildings in the city, emergency housing, the quality of roads;
- migration indicators: the ratio of the number of people who left/moved to the city and permanent residents, satisfaction with important areas of life, readiness to leave for another region.
Where is it good to live in Russia?

In the top five:
The fifth position in the ranking is occupied by northern capital(0.61%). The city of Peter the Great and revolutionary changes. It is unique according to all criteria, including location and climate. Thanks to its rich historical heritage, beauty and location on high water, many draw an analogy with Venice.

The most beautiful city in the state is also the most expensive.
The Siberian city, the main one in the 72nd region, bypassed all the small and great capitals of the central regions. This cannot be a mistake, if only because the citizens give Tyumen the leadership for the second time in a row. Of course, it takes first place based on the sum of all criteria. It is still far from absolute superiority - according to surveyed citizens, the best are the level of education, public services and road construction.
