Zurich tops another survey

Published 10 June 2008 in writing

This makes it 7 years in a row for Zurich at the top of the Worldwide Quality of Living Survey by Mercer Human Resources Consulting. Tied for second place are Geneva (surprised me) and Vienna (no surprise). The survey looks at 39 different criteria including the quality of health, education and transport services, as well as political, social, economic and environmental factors.

Seven of the top 10 are in Europe, three in Switzerland. Also interesting that three are in Germany, makes you wonder why all those Germans are moving here?

  •  1. Zurich
  •  2. Vienna
  •  3. Geneva
  •  4. Vancouver
  •  5. Auckland
  •  6. Dusseldorf
  •  7. Munich
  •  8. Frankfurt
  •  9. Bern
  • 10. Sydney

The highest entry for the United States is Honolulu, appearing at number 28. London ranks at 38.
