Velvet – Life – Budapest has become one of the most livable cities for immigrants
The Hungarian capital is also ranked in the 2021 Expat City Ranking. InterNations, the world’s largest immigrant community of four million, compiled a list of 57 settlements and evaluated them based on five criteria.
The ranking was compiled based on the opinions of 12,000 420 participants. Although, according to the answers, Budapest finished in 32nd place overall, in some respects it was among the top 10 most livable cities.
The five criteria by which cities were assessed were: quality of urban life, comfort, labor market situation, income and housing, and livelihood.
Based on the last two aspects, Budapest is the ninth and sixth graduate, not better than the world average. Two out of three settlers are happy with the price of things they need to do in their daily lives, and 80 percent of their income is not more than enough to cover their expenses.
In terms of housing, it is believed that affordable real estate for everyone is affordable but also easily accessible.
