According to Psychology Today, the most livable cities are ones with access to convenient public transportation, good schools, housing, and quality medical care. On the other hand, people who live in areas that are high in pollution, low on green space, and have higher crime levels tend to suffer more from depression.
These include life expectancy, financial stability, and educational attainment. These are all strong indications of an area's standard of living.
24/7 Wall Street used the HDI to identify the best county to live in each state. The three measures chosen for rankings include life expectancy, the number of adults with bachelor's degrees, and poverty rate.
When compared to other countries, the United States ranks high on these factors, but is by no means first on the list. It sits in 21st place and is outranked by several European and Asian countries.
