The reference is the median of the 36 cities published here, not a European average. Eurostat's EU aggregates are not collected yet, and deriving one from these cities would invent a figure no source publishes.
Ordered best first
This measure has stated that a higher value is better for a household choosing where to settle, so the order and the colour follow from it. Cities with the same value share a rank. This orders one measure; it is not a ranking of cities.
Every value is published at the same geographic level: NUTS 2. Period 2024. Confidence varies by city and is stated on each row.

Each bar grows from the median towards the side its value falls on. The two halves are scaled independently, so the lowest and highest values reach their ends even when the spread is uneven: a bar's length is comparable with others on the same side of the median, not across it.
How this measure is built
- Definition
- Life expectancy at birth, for the region containing the city.
- Position
- The median, the gap and the rank are arithmetic over the values in this table and can be recomputed from it. They are not a score, carry no weighting, and combine with nothing else on the site.Read the method
