Although independent opinion polls citizens give the first place in the ranking of the best cities for living to Moscow, considering it the most convenient city for living. Third place in Moscow deserves the condition and quality of maintenance of the housing stock, skipping Naberezhnye Chelny and Tyumen ahead. The state of the road industry is estimated at 8 positions, the health and safety sector is entrenched at 14 positions.

Science Center:

The topic of internal migration of the population today is quite relevant. Many residents of small provincial towns and other small villages dream of moving to a large, rapidly developing metropolis. But our Motherland is very vast and there are many large cities on its map, respectively. It is for this reason that various research groups are engaged in the formation of various ratings of cities in terms of the standard of living of the population.

The most important criteria characterizing the standard of living

To properly characterize this concept, you need to first reveal what key indicators it includes:

  • Medium size wages;
  • Job prospects;
  • The level of food prices;
  • Prospects for the development of the city itself;
  • Level of crime;
  • Quality of medical and social services;
  • climatic conditions;
  • Ecological situation.

High income cities

In Russia, the indicators of the average wage across the country are very different from each other. In various economic studies, Moscow and the cities of Siberia, which are famous for their oil production and refinery enterprises, have been sharing the leading positions in the ranking for this indicator for many years. The rest of the regions on this indicator, unfortunately, significantly lag behind the first positions of the list.

So, end of 2017 beginning of 2018. The highest incomes among people are noted in the following regions of the country:

  • Moscow - about 70,000 rubles;
  • Khanty-Mansiysk autonomous region- about 64,000 rubles;
  • Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug - about 62,000 rubles;
  • Chukotka Autonomous Okrug - about 58,000 rubles.

In subjects with a developed oil industry, not only employees of companies, but also people of other specializations, including public sector employees, live in a secure environment. The processing of hydrocarbon raw materials brings huge profits to the budget of the regions through tax payments.

Top regions by number of jobs

The next important indicator is the opportunity to get a job. The following factors influence this:

  • Unemployment rate;
  • The number of applicants per vacancy;
  • The level of migration to other cities for the purpose of further employment;
  • The number of disabled people, including pensioners and children.

Summing up these indicators, the researchers came to the conclusion that the following cities are the most promising in terms of employment:

  • Ryazan;
  • Vologda;
  • Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk;
  • Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky;
  • Vladivostok.

The minimum cost of a consumer basket

The results of numerous studies show that the lowest price for foodstuffs you will have to pay in cities that are quite far from the two largest cities in Russia - Moscow and St. Petersburg. Also, you will not find in this list the main cities of the subjects of the Federation. So, the cheapest cities are:


Rating of cities by development rates

Everyone knows that Russian cities are developing at an uneven pace. In some, active housing and industrial construction is underway, new enterprises are opening, infrastructure is growing. Other cities are significantly behind in their development. To date, the fastest growth rates are observed in the following cities:

  • Kazan is the main factor active development is a huge flow of tourists. Thanks to this, there is an active replenishment of the municipal treasury. In addition, the city has centers aviation industry and chemical production;
  • Krasnoyarsk is the East Siberian leader of economy and industry. The city has a large number of non-ferrous metallurgy and engineering enterprises. It is the winner of all-Russian competitions as the most comfortable metropolis;
  • Krasnodar is the most advanced among the cities of the southern regions of Russia. Recognized as the most promising for employment entrepreneurial activity and therefore attracts a huge flow of both domestic and foreign investment;
  • Novosibirsk - due to the fact that it passes through Trans-Siberian Railway, the city is the largest logistics center in Siberia.

Where is the lowest crime rate?

The criminal activity indicator is usually calculated by calculating the ratio of the number committed crimes per one thousand inhabitants. Based on this, the most peaceful cities in Russia are recognized:

  • Ryazan, where the share of crime is 7.8%;
  • Ulyanovsk, where the crime rate is 11.3%;
  • Voronezh, where, according to statistics, the number of criminal acts is 11.5%;
  • St. Petersburg with a crime rate of 12%;
  • Penza, where the crime rate is 12.9%.

Most big number criminal acts are currently registered in the city of Kemerovo. Their share per 1000 population is 32.2%.

Cities with the most developed medicine

The quality of medical services directly affects life expectancy. For a correct assessment of this factor, population surveys were used, in which respondents talked about how satisfied they were with the quality of health care services. Additional criteria were the number of deaths among the elderly and the infant mortality rate. The following are recognized as leaders in the field of quality of medical services:


Regions with the best climate

For people seeking comfort, the climatic factor can also be one of the important ones. The most pleasant for life are the southern cities of the country, such as:

  • Krasnodar;
  • Sevastopol;
  • Novorossiysk;
  • Astrakhan;
  • Sochi.

Cities with the best ecology

This indicator is usually great importance for people with poor health. Most often, favorable environmental conditions are in cities where there are no large industrial enterprises. Exhaust gases from motor vehicles are another source of environmental pollution. Large metropolitan areas no longer fit the criterion of cities with good ecology. The leaders in this indicator are:

  • Pskov;
  • Smolensk;
  • Murmansk;
  • Nizhnevartovsk;
  • Sochi.

Leaders based on official research

In contact with

Recently Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation released a study in which he named the 10 best cities in Russia in terms of quality of life. Cities were evaluated on five indicators: the quality of medical care, roads and road facilities, culture and education, housing, assessment of the work of city authorities and migratory moods. We found out why it is really good to live in these cities.

1. Tyumen

It is not surprising that now the city is in the first place - urban infrastructure is actively developing in Tyumen. The quality of roads in the city high level, but, unlike the capital of Russia, everything is nearby, so you don’t have to stand in traffic for hours. If you live on the outskirts of Tyumen, you will still easily and quickly get to the city center. There are 155 private medical clinics in Tyumen and 19 public ones. Service is at a high level. Education is also not bad - there are eight universities for every taste of a graduate, as well as many colleges. The local administration also takes care of the leisure of the city's residents: theatres, museums, cinemas. There is even a zoo and a water park. The population of the city has been constantly growing since 2011 - now 740 thousand people live in Tyumen, while the average salary in the city is 51 thousand rubles.In general, living in Tyumen is really convenient and comfortable. The only problem - Cold winter and some ecological problems, but this is generally typical for the whole of Russia.

2. Terrible


in Grozny the best roads in the country. 97% of citizens are satisfied with the state of the road infrastructure, and this already says a lot. average salary- about 20 thousand rubles, which is higher than in the entire region. The city is being actively built up and restored, so there is where to walk and what to see. There are three higher educational institutions and 25 medical clinics in Grozny. In addition, unlike most cities, Grozny has a good mild climate and hot summers. The bulk of the population is made up of believers, so clubs and other similar entertainments are not common here. Blogger Varlamov noted that, despite sad story You feel very safe in the city.

3. Kazan


Beautiful and historical Kazan has long attracted tourists. Usually it is visited third: after Moscow and St. Petersburg. Living here is also quite comfortable: a good climate, convenient infrastructure, rich cultural life. The average salary is 37 thousand rubles a month, and since this is an industrial city, finding a job is quite simple. There are more than 400 public and private clinics in Kazan. There are environmental problems, but they are not critical. Local residents also complain about traffic problems, but they are also gradually being resolved. For example, a subway was built for the 1000th anniversary of Kazan.

4. St. Petersburg


The second most important city in Russia cannot be called perfect place for life. The high cost of living, poor climate and ecology, traffic jams are all inevitable consequences of the development of a metropolis. The average salary in St. Petersburg is 53 thousand rubles, while housing is many times more expensive. But on the other hand, it is very interesting to live in St. Petersburg - in terms of the variety of cultural leisure, this city surpasses all the others from the list. In addition, here is a wide list of higher educational institutions. There is a place to be treated - 89 public clinics and hundreds of private

5. Krasnodar


150 kilometers from the sea, warm climate, rich story- all this distinguishes Krasnodar from other cities. True, some do not like this climate - in summer the temperature can be above 40. Locals also complain about the environment - all city beaches have long been closed, and the purity of the air leaves much to be desired. But there are also advantages - the work of housing and communal services is well established, the infrastructure is quite good, the average salary is slightly higher than in the country (31 thousand rubles). The education and entertainment sector is well developed.

6. Ufa


WITH the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan took 6th place in the ranking of prosperous cities. Ufa is a district center, so there are many educational institutions that attract students from all surrounding cities. The average salary is 30 thousand rubles. The city operates various enterprises so there is work to do here. The city has a developed infrastructure and good roads, and public utilities are doing their job quite well. In general, Ufa, of course, is not an ideal city for living (in particular, there are environmental problems), but it is quite worthy. In addition, it does not stand still and is rapidly modernizing and changing.

7. Novosibirsk


On the 7th place is the “capital of Siberia”. Novosibirsk impresses with its scope - there are multi-lane roads, huge buildings, wide squares. The city is being actively built up and modernized (by the way, there is a metro). There are dozens of educational institutions, cultural and sports facilities in the city. Everyone in Russia has heard about the famous Novosibirsk Akademgorodok. And there is also a zoo and 16 cinemas. Of the minuses - a sharply continental climate (it is better to leave the house with a spare set of clothes), air pollution and, in general, not a very good ecological situation. But on the other hand, because of the developed industry, it is quite easy to find a job (the average salary is 30 thousand rubles).

8. Moscow


The capital of the city is located on the 8th line of the rating, and there are reasons for this. The average Muscovite will complain to you about many hours of traffic jams, bad ecology, high cost of living and the need to get up at 5 am to get to work. But Moscow also has its advantages. For example, the highest average salary in the country (almost 70 thousand rubles), as well as wide opportunities career development and learning. The cultural life of the capital is also very rich: concerts of world celebrities, exhibitions, festivals, etc. are regularly held. That is why thousands of young people who dream of expressing themselves come to the city every year. Moreover, in last years The mayor of Moscow is actively developing infrastructure and solving existing problems.

9. Krasnoyarsk


Krasnoyarsk is located near the Yenisei River. For a long time he was the merchant center of Siberia, and now he receives diplomas forformation of an effective model of social support for the population. The climate of the city, by the way, has changed due to human activities. Indeed, this has changed ecological situation(Krasnoyarsk is regularly included in the anti-ratings on this issue). But the city administration is actively working in this direction and is engaged in planting trees and shrubs in Krasnoyarsk.The average salary is 38 thousand rubles, it is quite easy to find a job. It is not only an industrial, but also a commercial city.In Krasnoyarsk, there are several maternity hospitals, an oncology center, several trauma centers, two large hospitals - the Regional Hospital and the Emergency Hospital. Public utilities have always been in excellent condition in the city. Very close to Krasnoyarsk there are interesting reserved places, therefore tourism is also developing. In general, the city is really quite suitable for living.

10. Kemerovo

The city is the administrative center, so there are no problems with work here. The average salary is 26 thousand rubles.The climate is not the most pleasant - sharply continental with severe frosts and hot summers. The ecology in the city is bad - you can’t swim in the reservoirs, and the air is polluted. Despite these problems,living in the city of Kemerovo, in general, is comfortable. There are good roads, developed infrastructure, low utility bills. Kemerovo is also a scientific and educational center of the region: services and trade are actively developing here. shopping malls there are many places in the city where you can not only find entertainment, but also work.
