Here are the world's top 10 most livable cities - and how much it costs to live there

But certain cities around the world are exceptionally livable, according to the 2017 Global Liveability report from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).

To determine the rankings, the EIU evaluated 140 cities based on 30 factors across five categories: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure. Topics ranging from humidity to water quality to violent crime were taken into account when compiling the data.

In the top cities, recreational activities are easily accessible, crime rates are low, and infrastructure isn't overused, thanks in part to relatively low population density. Australia and Canada, where six of the top 10 cities were located, have some of the lowest population densities in the world, according to data from the World Bank.

Living with so many perks doesn't come cheap, however. The most livable cities aren't the most affordable. Many of the highest scores in the report went to mid-sized cities in wealthy countries.

For each city on the list, we found the average cost of renting a one-bedroom apartment in the center of town, utilities, and commuting, as well as the price of a cappuccino and a pint of domestic beer, according to global cost of living database Numbeo. All amounts are in US dollars and are current as of September 2017.

Below, check out what it costs on average to live in each of the top 10 most livable cities in the world.
