New Index Shows Locations with Best Quality of Life in Czechia

Říčany has once again been crowned the best city to live in the Czech Republic in 2024.

This conclusion comes from a comprehensive study conducted by Deloitte in collaboration with the “Community in Data” project, which analyzed 206 of the largest cities and towns in the country.

Evaluation Criteria

Each city was assessed based on 29 key criteria derived from official statistics. These included:

• Average life expectancy
• Population growth trends
• Crime and road accident rates
• Availability of medical care and doctors
• Access to schools, kindergartens, and other educational institutions
• Support for sustainable development
• Levels of environmental cleanliness
• Unemployment rates and median salary sizes
• Access to restaurants, pharmacies, ATMs, and leisure facilities

Říčany, located in the Středočeský kraj (Praha-Východ district), claimed the top spot for the seventh consecutive year. The city stood out for its low unemployment rates, excellent medical care for children, high-quality schools, and a strong sense of safety.

Additionally, its efficient transport links and abundance of pharmacies further solidify its position as the best place to live in the Czech Republic.

Prague secured second place, while the South Moravian town of Hustopeče rounded out the top three.

Purpose of the Study

The goal of this research is to assist municipalities in identifying and addressing gaps in public services through the analysis of Big Data. This initiative not only helps towns and cities improve residents’ quality of life but also provides valuable insights for individuals considering relocation within the Czech Republic.
