    I find it surprising that there’s 2 Australian cities on here but nowhere from the US. I’ve been under the impression Australia was similar to US in “Liveability” metrics, for good and ill.

    The rest are no surprise at all

      My guess is that all USA cities were disqualified for possibilities of gun violence and lack of socialize medicine. I can’t really disagree with that either.

      They talk more about the methodology here, for what it’s worth. I think crime is pretty heavily weighted, guessing that’s what sinks a lot of US cities.
