Melbourne #17 Most Livable City

The good news: We are the 17th most livable city in the world.
The bad news: Sydney beat us as it ranked 9th in the world.
Mercer Human Resource Consulting has computed global rankings based on “political stability, currency-exchange regulations, political and media censorship, school quality, housing, the environment and public safety”.
Switzerland took out the top two spots, while on the opposite end, Baghdad, not surprisingly, is 215. Living in Iraq is twice as bad as Brazzaville, Congo, ranked 214. I would be interested to see what we could do to improve our score but unfortunately Mercer is light on the details of the computation.
