In the latest Global Livability Index<\/em> published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), Vancouver has emerged as Canada\u2019s only city to secure a spot in the top 10 most livable cities worldwide. The city ranked 10th overall in 2025, reaffirming its global reputation for high living standards, despite a modest drop from its 7th place ranking last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vancouver Holds Strong Amid Shifting Global Rankings<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vancouver, located on Canada\u2019s west coast, received an overall livability score of 95.8<\/strong>, maintaining exceptional marks in nearly all key categories\u2014Stability, Healthcare, Culture & Environment, Education<\/strong>, and Infrastructure<\/strong>. The city\u2019s only noticeable decline was in healthcare<\/strong>, which scored 95.8<\/strong> this year, compared to a perfect 100<\/strong> in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dip in healthcare scores was the only factor contributing to Vancouver\u2019s slight slip in ranking. However, experts note that the city\u2019s ranking drop is more due to improving conditions in other cities, rather than any major deficiencies on Vancouver\u2019s part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, Vancouver is the only city in North America<\/strong> to make the global top 10 list, highlighting its unique appeal among urban centers across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
