It hit the mark — again.
Copenhagen has been crowned the most livable city in the world for the second year in a row.
Denmark’s capital landed No. I out of 173 cities on the annual list from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), which released its Global Livability Index on Tuesday.
Each city is given a rating based on 30 factors in five categories: health care, culture and environment, education, infrastructure and stability.
Copenhagen managed to earn a perfect score in three of them — stability, infrastructure and education.
The city of Spires’ top honor is attributed to a “winning combination of excellent scores in stability and infrastructure, great culture and environment and high quality of public services,” said a spokesperson from the Economist Intelligence Unit told CNN.
Vienna and Melbourne trailed close behind, taking second and third place, respectively.
Rounding out the rest of the Top 10 were Sydney, Zurich, Geneva, Osaka, Adelaide, Vancouver and Tokyo.
Vancouver was the only city in North America to make the Top 10.
The US didn’t fare so well — as the highest-ranked American city was Honolulu, which came in at just No. 25.
New York was the third-lowest-ranking city in the country at 66 — and while its ranking may seem subpar, it was one the cities with the largest score increase, gaining 1.2 points, with higher scores in the stability category.
The least livable cities were Tehran, which has been battered by economic turmoil, drought and US and Israeli airstrikes, Harare (Zimbabwe), Kyiv, Port Moresby (Papua New Guinea), Lagos (Nigeria), Algiers (Algeria), Karachi (Pakistan), Dhaka (Bangladesh), Tripoli (Libya) and Damascus.
