Rating by Numbeo

Numbeo is a popular online platform that specializes in providing information about the quality of life in different countries. It was founded in 2009 to collect and analyze data that can be useful for people when making decisions about moving, traveling, or investing. Numbeo provides up-to-date information on prices, crime rates, healthcare quality, pollution levels, and other key indicators that affect the quality of life.

The main feature of Numbeo is that the data on the platform is collected from users themselves, which ensures its accuracy and relevance. Users can add their feedback and data, thus contributing to the creation of an extensive global database. Today, Numbeo covers information on more than 11,000 cities around the world. This crowdsourcing approach allows us to get the most objective picture possible.

According to Numbeo, Cyprus ranks 36th among 85 countries in the global quality of life ranking. This is quite a high figure, as the country is ahead of such economically developed countries as South Korea, Italy, Hong Kong, Turkey, and China. The average cost of living for a family with two children in Cyprus is 3012.8 euros per month, and for a single person - about 860 euros. These amounts do not take into account the cost of renting a house.
