Apparently this ranking fluctuates based on currency value, which really signals that is isn`t all that accurate when it comes to real life value.
The rank changes when calculated based on "cost of living" when balanced with income.

The ranking based on percentage of income required to secure a standard level of life in that city comes up with this for the top 10;

1. Luanda, Angola
2. Tokyo, Japan
3. Nagoya, Japan
4. Yokohama, Japan
5. Kobe, Japan
6. Copenhagen, Denmark
7. Oslo, Norway
8. Geneva, Switzerland
9. Zurich, Switzerland
10. Basel, Switzerland

Angola apparently relies very heavily on the extremely high priced black market for a fair chunk of necessities so comes in on top for actual income vs. cost of living.

I`m kind of impressed that Nagoya takes #2 in Japan.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
