Over 630,000 people moved to North America from other parts of the world in the first half of 2022, a rise of 51% from the same period a year earlier. It is easy to see why. The region is home to some of the world’s most “liveable” cities, according to an index by eiu, our sister company. It ranks living conditions in 172 cities around the world, taking into account more than 30 factors related to education, culture, the environment, health care, infrastructure and stability. This year, every city in North America included in the index scored above 80 (out of 100), with an average of 88. That makes North America the second-most “liveable” region in the world, narrowly behind Western Europe. Which of its cities stood out?


Those looking for a new home may want to consider Calgary. The Canadian city scored 96 points, the most of any North American city in the region. It is not its first time at the top: Calgary has come first in the region twice before in the past decade. Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal filled the next three spots. Residents of all four Canadian cities enjoy top scores for health care and education. Canada’s rollout of covid-19 vaccine boosters and the quick reopening of schools during the pandemic aided its high marks.

The top ranked city in the United States was Atlanta, which came fifth overall. Los Angeles, the region’s biggest climber, rose to ninth place from 15th, thanks to big gains in the culture and environment category after it eased capacity restrictions for venues in February. New York, meanwhile, remained close to the bottom in 21st place—two below its pre-pandemic rank. The city scored poorly on stability and infrastructure (as New Yorkers worried about high crime rates or stuck on an ageing subway will understand). Mexico is not included in EIU’s North American index, but its cities were among the bottom 50 of the global survey. When it comes to liveability, it seems the further north you go the better.

2022年上半年，超过63万人从世界其他地区移居北美，比去年同期增长了51%。这很容易看出原因。根据我们的姐妹公司iu的指数，该地区拥有一些世界上最 "宜居 "的城市。它对全世界172个城市的生活条件进行排名，考虑到与教育、文化、环境、医疗保健、基础设施和稳定性有关的30多个因素。今年，列入该指数的北美每个城市的得分都在80分以上（满分100分），平均为88分。这使得北美成为世界上第二大 "宜居 "地区，仅次于西欧。其哪些城市脱颖而出？


那些寻找新家的人可能要考虑卡尔加里。这个加拿大城市获得了96分，是该地区所有北美城市中得分最高的。这并不是它第一次名列前茅。在过去十年中，卡尔加里曾两次获得该地区的第一名。温哥华、多伦多和蒙特利尔占据了后面三个位置。所有这四个加拿大城市的居民都在医疗保健和教育方面享有最高分。加拿大在大流行期间推出了covid-19疫苗助推器并迅速重新开放学校，这有助于其获得高分。

美国排名第一的城市是亚特兰大，总分排名第五。洛杉矶是该地区排名最靠前的城市，从第15位上升到第9位，这要归功于它在2月份放宽了对场馆的容量限制后，在文化和环境类别中取得的巨大进步。与此同时，纽约仍然接近底部，排名第21位，比大流行前的排名低了两位。该城市在稳定性和基础设施方面的得分很低（担心高犯罪率或被困在老化的地铁上的纽约人会明白这一点）。墨西哥没有被列入EIU的北美指数中，但其城市在全球调查中排名倒数第50位。说到宜居，似乎越往北走越好。
