\"\"<\/a>Agree with Mercer that Vancouver has the highest quality of life in North America<\/a>? Because that distinction is being challenged by another\u00a0Quality of Life Index<\/a>\u00a0from Numbeo, who\u00a0gave the honour to Edmonton.<\/p>\n

In fact, Alberta\u2019s capital was deemed to have the third highest quality of life in the entire world, behind only Berlin and Zurich.<\/p>\n

The second highest ranked Canadian city was another Albertan town: Calgary, which landed in the fifth spot worldwide (Montreal ranked ninth, Toronto came in at number 11 and Vancouver is 16).<\/p>\n

Needless to say, the latest index is pleasing a few folks in Wild Rose Country.<\/p>\n

“This ranking helps Edmontonians, Calgarians and Albertans share our success story with the world,” stated Brad Ferguson, president and CEO of Edmonton Economic Development Corporation, in a news release<\/a>. “In addition to creating civic pride and a greater appreciation of what we already have, the recognition strengthens our two cities’ identities and solidifies Alberta’s place as truly one of the world’s very best locations.”<\/p>\n

Numbeo\u2019s quality of life index considers eight categories, including a city\u2019s purchasing power, house price to income ratio, safety and traffic commute times.<\/p>\n

Numbeo.com<\/a> is a database of user-contributed information and manually collected data from official sources for cities and countries’ living conditions, including cost of living, housing, health care, traffic, crime and pollution.<\/p>\n
