Říčany voted best place to live in Czechia for seventh consecutive year

The Central Bohemian town of Říčany has been ranked the best place to live in Czechia for the seventh consecutive year, according to the annual Quality of Life Index published on Thursday.

The annual list, put together by the Municipalities in Data project, is created by using data from sources such as the Czech Statistical Office, the Ministry of Education, and the Labour Office. It assesses 29 factors, including life expectancy, unemployment, community services, housing availability, and air pollution.

Prague held its second-place position, while Hustopeče in South Moravia moved up to third, overtaking Brandýs nad Labem-Stará Boleslav, which now ranks fourth. At the other end of the scale, municipalities in northern Bohemia and northern Moravia continue to dominate the lowest rankings.
