Zurich on the Podium of Global Liveability

Analysis of the Global Liveability Index 2025 and Implications for the Real Estate Market

Dear Readers,

Every year, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) publishes the Global Liveability Index, one of the most authoritative reports worldwide on urban quality of life. The index analyzes 173 cities based on 30 indicators, divided into five categories: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure.

In the 2025 ranking, the most liveable cities in the world are:
1. Copenhagen – Overall score 98.0/100
2. Vienna – 97.1/100
3. Zurich – 97.1/100, tied with Vienna

Zurich’s Rating in Key Categories

According to the Global Liveability Index 2025, Zurich achieves excellent results in all areas studied:

• Stability: 95.0
• Healthcare: 100.0
• Culture and Environment: 96.3
• Education: 100.0
• Infrastructure: 96.4

With an overall score of 97.1 out of 100, Zurich confirms its position as one of the cities with the highest quality of life worldwide.

Why Zurich Continues to Stand Out

Zurich has consistently ranked among the top cities internationally, thanks to several key factors:
– One of the best healthcare systems in the world
– Education at the highest level
– Efficient public transport and modern infrastructure
– High safety and social stability
– Sustainable urban development and a diverse cultural offering

These factors make Zurich not only an excellent place to live but also one of the most stable and attractive real estate markets in Europe.

Looking Ahead

The report also shows that the global average quality of life score is 76.1 out of 100, well below the level of leading European cities.

This underscores Zurich’s special position as an international benchmark for quality of life.

The question many observers are now asking is:
Can Zurich reach first place in the coming years?

With its economic stability, excellent infrastructure, and high-quality public services, the city has the best conditions to further strengthen its top position.
