Melbourne is the only country to win World’s Most Liveable City for 7 consecutive years.

The Australian city of Melbourne, Victoria has been declared the world’s most liveable city again – for the 7th consecutive time.

This is the first time in the survey’s 15-year history that a city has held top spot in The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Index for seven consecutive years. Vancouver, which shared the top-ranked spot with Melbourne from 2002 to 2004, held the title for 6 years.

The Economist’s report scores each city out of 100 for stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. It also looks at factors such as crime, how good the food is and even how bearable the temperature is in each of the 140 cities surveyed. Housing affordability is not considered.

Melbourne’s overall rating is 97.5 out of 100. Little wonder that the population of the city has continued to swell dramatically by around 2000 people a week, a quarter of them from Sydney.

Melbourne is not the only Australian city listed in the Survey. Adelaide is at 5th place (with Calgary in Canada), Perth at 7th place, Sydney at 11th and Brisbane at 16th. Sydney used to be in the global top 10 and is now overtaken by two smaller Australian cities.
