Prague Best Place to Live in Czechia for the Third Year in a Row

In the fourteenth year of the comparative research “Místo pro živo”, Prague City, the South Moravian Region, and the Hradec Králové Region were ranked on the podium.

The Datank analytical agency evaluates the quality of living conditions in all regions of the Czech Republic using data from independent sources and a survey conducted among 1,600 residents. The Karlovy Vary Region came last this year.

Prague Excels in Infrastructure, Education, and Healthcare

Prague stands out in four of the eight areas surveyed, making it the best-performing city in the Czech Republic.

The capital boasts excellent healthcare services, with the highest number of doctors and dentists per 1,000 inhabitants and the most hospital beds per 1,000 inhabitants. Life expectancy for both men and women is also the highest in Prague.

In education, Prague excels with the highest success rate of students in state matriculation exams in Czech language and mathematics. The city also has the highest number of children in grammar schools per 100,000 inhabitants compared to other regions.

Advanced Infrastructure and High Voter Turnout

Prague’s infrastructure is well-developed, evidenced by the highest per capita capacity of wastewater treatment plants, the highest proportion of households with internet access, and the most public charging stations for electric vehicles per 1,000 km of roads.

In terms of civil society and tolerance, Prague has the highest ratio of immigrants to emigrants and a very high voter turnout. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in environmental aspects such as reducing the amount of wastewater discharged into the sewer system and increasing the amount of recycled waste.
