The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has ranked Vancouver as the 6th most livable city in the world out of the 140 cities included in its annual global survey.

Vancouver got full marks (100) for healthcare, culture & environment and education but lost points for stability (95) and infrastructure (92.9).

Infrastructure includes factors such as the availability of good quality housing, quality of public transportation, road network and telecommunications.

Stability is calculated based on the prevalence of petty and violent crime, threat of terror, civil unrest and military conflict.

Calgary ranked 4th ahead of Vancouver and Toronto ranked 7th to round out the Canadian cities that made the top 10.

Here are the the top 10 most and least livable cities according to the EIU Global Livability Index 2018:
