This week, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) released their Global Liveability Index ranking of the top 10 best and 10 worst places to live in the world in 2022. The index scored 172 cities in five categories: culture, health care, education, infrastructure, and entertainment. Show
European and Canadian cities dominate the list of Most Liveable Cities thanks to factors like stability and good infrastructure. These cities inhabitants are supported by good healthcare and numerous opportunities for culture and entertainment, according to the index. And year after year, cities in Austria and Switzerland tend to rank high among quality of life lists thanks to their well-developed social market economy. Although18 different countries are represented on these lists, you won't find the U.S. ranked in the top 10 on either one. A representative for EIU told CNBC Make It via email that Atlanta, Georgia ranked as the most liveable US city, at number 26 on the list, while Washington D.C. came in close behind at number 30. No. 1 best place to live in the world: Vienna, AustriaOverall rating:

172 Here's the rest of the top 10 worst places to live
What the cities on the worst list all seem to have in common are some serious social issues and safety concerns. For example, the index stated that Damascus's place on the list is likely a result of the social unrest, terrorism, and conflict affecting the Syrian city. Lagos — the cultural capital of Nigeria — made the list because, according to the U.S. Department of State, it is known for crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping and maritime crime. Correction: European and Canadian cities dominate the list of Most Liveable Cities thanks to factors like stability and good infrastructure. An earlier version misstated the location.
