Europe has consistently been the most comfortable place to live, with Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Denmark now leading the ranking. In contrast, Switzerland, Germany, and Sweden held these positions a decade ago, showing a shift in leadership while remaining near the top.
Notably, the U.S., Canada, Japan, and Saudi Arabia have experienced declines, and Turkmenistan is no longer listed in the rankings. Oman has surprisingly risen to the 4th position. Additionally, several small European countries, including Iceland and the Baltic states, have significantly enhanced their quality of life rankings.
