Numbeo, a crowdsourced data company based in Serbia, has just published a ranking of cities with a favorable quality of life for the mid-year of 2023. The Quality of Life Index is derived from the application of an empirical formula that incorporates several elements that influence an individual's quality of life.
Those elements include the Purchasing Power Index, Pollution Index, House Price to Income Ratio, Cost of Living Index, Safety Index, Health Care Index, Traffic Commute Time Index, and Climate Index, with each specific requirement.
Following that, Numbeo uses reliable data sources and user polls to calculate the grade. The surveys seek to acquire data on the personal viewpoints and experiences of Numbeo's website visitors pertaining to the aforementioned aspects of quality of life. Furthermore, numerous scientific and government surveys have inspired the kinds of questions covered in these polls.
