    Quality of Life and Cost of Living Around the World

    ‎06-06-2019 06:22 PM

    A remix of this recent post:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/bslfv2/oc_which_cities_are_the_best_deals_quality_...

     

    Tools: Power BI

     

    Data:

    Quality of Life is Mercer rankings (https://mobilityexchange.mercer.com/Insights/quality-of-living-rankings). To make it more intuitive I reversed the ranking so that higher is better.

    Cost of Living is from Expatistan: https://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/index/

    Continents are from Wikipedia/Wikidata: https://w.wiki/4Q8

     

    I used the Fuzzy Merge feature to get more matches between the two main datasets. I also did some manual tweaking of countries to align the first two datasets with Wikipedia. From Wikipedia I filtered out a few results to avoid confusion: USA in Oceania, Netherlands in almost every continent.

     

    It's interactive so you can use the Continent or City, Country slicers on the left to view a selection of Cities. Note the City, Country slicer has Search enabled.
