Public Transportation
Vancouver scored number one in three categories, the most for any city: public health, equity and inclusion and public transportation. That was enough to make it number one.
Other B.C. cities were also ranked. Kelowna rated number one in income generation and Victoria rated number two in good youth jobs.
In the study “Vancouver” was comprised of 14 municipalities in Metro Vancouver, stretching from West Vancouver to White Rock and from Vancouver to Maple Ridge.
Not surprisingly, Vancouver ranked near the bottom for cost of living: 24th out of 27 cities. Vancouver also didn’t score well on income generation. In that category, study authors compared minimum, livable and student wages and how much income is generated by youth across all cities.
