Many foreigners visiting Mexico, either for tourism or work, say that Mexicans should be grateful for living in a country so kind and rich in traditions, culture, and economy. However, passing through is not the same as living here, which is why we tell you which is the city with the best quality of life in 2024.
The Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMCO) carried out a study to measure the situation in the country and determine which cities have the best results in employment, health, and safety.
The most logical thing is that you think that the best city could be Mexico City, because it is the capital and because of the standard of living that can be had there, without taking into account the richness of its gastronomy and its culture, its gender pay equity. and the level of education, but no. CDMX barely occupies the fourth place.
You could also think that it is Monterrey because it is an industrial city, that continues to grow, that has competitive salaries, that has a high educational level, it even has the highest level of schooling obtained by its residents, but no, the capital of Nuevo León occupies ninth place in the ranking.
The royal capital has poor coverage in health services, which is why it is not among the first places.
Perhaps you could think that Guadalajara is the city in Mexico with the best quality of life in 2024 and there are reasons for you to think so: it has favorable educational coverage and medical services, but it does not stand out in income equality, which is why it occupies seventh place.
The city that occupies the number one position is Mérida, Yucatán. The Yucatecan capital offers the best quality of life in the country; It has outstanding educational coverage in Mexico, in addition to being perceived by its inhabitants as very safe. Its medical services are efficient not to mention its culture and gastronomy.
San Luis Potosí occupies third place, this city that boasts a high educational level in its inhabitants and where labor inequality by gender is minimal.
This is the ranking:
1. Merida
2. Chihuahua
3. San Luis Potosi
4. Mexico City
5. Tijuana
6. Queretaro
7. Guadalajara
8. Aguascalientes
9. Monterrey
10. Saltillo
Quality of life is defined as the level at which a community facilitates the fulfillment of the diverse and complex needs of its inhabitants. There is a model that is based on 12 essential dimensions: quality of housing, environmental environment, mobility, economy, employment, health, security, education, leisure and sports, social relations, citizen participation, and local government.
