Cities were assessed based on five indicators: quality medical care, roads and road management, culture and education, housing, assessment of the work of city authorities and migration sentiment. We found out why these cities are really good to live in.
1. Tyumen
It is not surprising that the city is now in first place - urban infrastructure is actively developing in Tyumen. The quality of roads in the city is at a high level, but, unlike the Russian capital, everything is nearby, so you don’t have to sit in traffic jams for hours. If you live on the outskirts of Tyumen, you can still easily and quickly get to the city center. There are 155 private ones in Tyumen medical clinics and 19 state ones. The service is at a high level. Education is also not bad - there are eight universities to suit every graduate’s taste, as well as many colleges. The local administration also takes care of the leisure of city residents: theaters, museums, cinemas. There is even a zoo and a water park. The population of the city has been constantly growing since 2011 - now 740 thousand people live in Tyumen, while the average salary in the city is 51 thousand rubles.In general, living in Tyumen is really convenient and comfortable. The only negative is the cold winter and some environmental problems, but this is generally typical for all of Russia.
2. Grozny
Grozny has the best roads in the country. 97% of city residents are satisfied with the state of the road infrastructure, and this already says a lot. The average salary is approximately 20 thousand rubles, which is higher than in the entire region. The city is actively being built up and restored, so there is where to walk and what to see. There are three higher educational institutions and 25 medical clinics in Grozny. In addition, unlike most cities, Grozny has a good mild climate and hot summers. The bulk of the population consists of believers, so clubs and other similar entertainment are not common here. Blogger Varlamov noted that, despite sad story, you feel very safe in the city.
3. Kazan

Living here is also quite comfortable: good climate, convenient infrastructure, rich cultural life. The average salary is 37 thousand rubles per month, and since this is an industrial city, finding a job is quite easy. There are more than 400 public and private clinics in Kazan. There are environmental problems, but they are not critical. Local residents also complain about traffic problems, but these too are gradually being resolved. For example, a metro was built for the 1000th anniversary of Kazan.
4. St. Petersburg
The second most important city in Russia cannot be called an ideal place to live. High cost of living, poor climate and ecology, traffic jams - all these are inevitable consequences of the development of a metropolis. The average salary in St. Petersburg is 53 thousand rubles, and housing costs several times more. But life in St. Petersburg is very interesting - in terms of diversity of cultural leisure, this city surpasses all others on the list. Everything else here wide list higher educational institutions.

The city has a developed infrastructure and good roads, and public utilities cope with their responsibilities quite well.
