In the vast expanses of the Russian Federation there are many different cities. In some of them, Russians are provided with better working conditions, in others the infrastructure is developing promisingly, and thirdly, it is very comfortable for Russian citizens to live in retirement. To figure out which Russian city is best to settle in, a lot of ratings have been compiled. Below we propose to consider some of them.

The standard of living of the population is a combination of several factors. First of all, this, of course, is the amount of wages, the level of provision of educational and medical services, clean ecology, safety of living and developed infrastructure. The highest standard of living is found in large cities, where material support allows Russians to live with dignity. The list of the best cities in Russia according to this criterion includes such settlements as Kazan, Moscow, Krasnodar, Tyumen and St. Petersburg.

It is good to live in the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan for those who want to open their own business or continue to run an already started business. This city is developing at a rapid pace and provides a high standard of living for 1.2 million citizens. Kazan also pleases its residents and guests with excellent roads, developed infrastructure, a variety of universities and scientific institutions, as well as many other attractive features.

More than 12 million people live in the capital of the Russian Federation, and this figure is the highest in the country. For those who live in this city, the highest average salary in Russia, high-quality highways, advanced housing and communal services, the best schools and higher educational institutions, cultural and historical institutes and much more are available.

Krasnodar

More than 800 thousand people live in Krasnodar, each of them can enjoy a warm climate and modern infrastructure, as well as receive decent medical services. But low-quality roads and a small number of decent universities do not allow Krasnodar to be the best city in terms of living standards.

The city of Tyumen is one of the largest settlements in Siberia and accommodates almost 700 thousand inhabitants. About 10% of the able-bodied population of this corner of Russia is involved in the oil and gas industry.

The advantages of Tyumen are rightfully considered to be roads of decent quality, a developed system of housing and communal services, a high level of educational services and fairly high average salaries.

St. Petersburg

More than 5 million people live in the cultural capital of Russia, and this figure ranks second after Moscow. The advantages of St. Petersburg, which are quite weighty for moving to a permanent place of residence: beautiful architecture and nature, a variety of museums and cultural and historical sights, a large concentration of prestigious universities and research institutes, high-quality housing and communal services and a modern healthcare system.

First of all, the level of competition in the local labor market was determined, an indicator of this is the total number of applicants for each job. In addition, the index of unemployed citizens of working age and those who seek to leave the city in order to find a job was taken into account. Based on these calculations, the most attractive cities in Russia for migrants looking for decent work were determined.

Kazan deserved the right to be considered a city with the prospect of further development due to the development of large chemical and aviation enterprises, as well as due to the high volume of new housing construction.

Krasnoyarsk

This region is considered the largest center of economy, education and sports in the entire central and eastern districts of Siberia. An important note is that this particular city several times became the owner of the title of "The most comfortable city in Russia." The leading sectors of the economy here are as follows: mechanical engineering and, of course, non-ferrous metallurgy. The listed pluses annually bring more and more migrants to Krasnoyarsk.

Krasnodar

Huge potential in economic terms has been associated with Krasnodar in recent years. This city in the south of Russia has repeatedly been at the top of the rating of the most developed cities for doing business in the Russian Federation. In addition, there is a rapid development of industry here, due to which domestic and foreign businessmen invest in this region.

These advantages provide Novosibirsk with an annual increase in the number of inhabitants, thanks to migrants from other cities of the Russian Federation and neighboring CIS countries.

Before choosing a city for permanent residence, family migrants should pay attention to the presence of a clean environment, a high level of medical and educational services, as well as the presence of sports and entertainment complexes. Localities that have all of the above factors at a high level are listed below:

• Kazan;
• Belgorod;
• Rostov-on-Don;
• Kaliningrad;
• Voronezh.

Cities with the most favorable environment

Before moving, you should also think about the environmental situation in the new place of permanent residence. The Federal State Statistics Agency calculates the indicators of the most environmentally friendly cities based on a comparison of the number of enterprises harmful to the environment, the availability of compensation for environmental damage and the amount of polluting emissions into the atmosphere. The cleanest cities in Russia are listed below:

• Sarapul (Republic of Udmurtia);
• Chapaevsk (Samara region);
• Essentuki and Mineralnye Vody (Stavropol Territory);
• Derbent and Kaspiysk (Republic of Dagestan);
• Nazran (Republic of Ingushetia);
• Novoshakhtinsk (Rostov region).

The most prestigious settlements of the Russian Federation

As it would be logical to assume, the most prestigious city in the vast expanses of Russia is the capital Moscow. Many residents of the Russian Federation strive to get to this city in order to fulfill their dreams and unleash their potential. Nevertheless, there are other settlements that are currently developing very quickly and can compete with the capital in terms of prestige:

• St. Petersburg;
• Tyumen;
• Kazan;
• Krasnodar;
• Novosibirsk.

Choosing a city for a permanent place of residence should not only be based on a variety of ratings and tops. After all, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. It is very important to have your own idea of ​​which city is better to live in and how you can achieve the most comfortable living, because some factors are fundamental for someone, and for another - the same factors are secondary and insignificant.

Many of our compatriots are thinking about where they can move to live within the country. Ratings that show the advantages and disadvantages of individual cities can help them make a choice. How are they composed? What is taken into account? Which cities in Russia occupy the top lines of ratings in certain categories?

Features of cities and regions of Russia

Ecological, climatic and economic conditions in different parts of our country differ markedly. How to determine which Russian cities and regions are favorable for moving to a permanent place of residence? Based on public opinion polls and statistical data, ratings are compiled that should help to understand this issue. Many mass media are engaged in such research, but the ratings compiled by organizations such as the Department of Sociology of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation and the Center for Strategic Studies of the Rosgosstrakh company enjoy the greatest authority. The data source is the Federal State Statistics Service. There are many criteria by which the situation in each city and region is assessed.

Where to move to live better if the environmental factor is important to you

Human health is largely dependent on the state of the environment. Toxic waste that pollutes the air, water and soil can cause serious illness and even premature death. The presence of environmental problems is especially dangerous for pregnant women and children. Various congenital pathologies are the result of exposure to toxic emissions on the human body.

There are three factors that determine the state of the environment:

• industrial waste;
• vehicle exhaust gases;
• geographic location.

Enterprises in industrial cities and a large number of vehicles in metropolitan areas are the main sources of pollution. In addition, the concentration of toxic substances depends on the geographical location. If the city is located between hills, air currents do not blow its territory well enough. In this case, the concentration of harmful emissions increases many times over.

1. Pskov;
2. Smolensk;
3. Murmansk;
4. Nizhnevartovsk;
5. Sochi.

The air is fresh, the city is small and therefore not very polluted. If you are tired of the bustle of the city, gases and cars, then I suggest a trip to Pskov.

The purity of the atmosphere in this city is maintained thanks to the coniferous forests located around it. Another positive factor is the abundance of green spaces in the park areas of Pskov.

Pskov is distinguished not only by its ecological cleanliness, but also by its beautiful architecture.

It is also worth paying attention to the opposite rating, which determines the most environmentally polluted cities in Russia. When choosing a place for permanent residence, it is important to know in which cities the difficult environmental situation poses the greatest risk to health. The environmental anti-rating looks like this:

1. Norilsk;
2. Moscow;
3. St. Petersburg;
4. Cherepovets (Vologda region);
5. Asbest (Sverdlovsk region).

It is easy to see that this list includes metropolitan areas and cities in which large industrial enterprises are located. For example, the Severstal metallurgical plant is located in Cherepovets.

Medical service

An integral part of a fulfilling life is the opportunity to receive quality medical services. Life expectancy directly depends on this factor. The assessment of the level of medical care is based on surveys of residents: how satisfied they are with the availability and professionalism of treatment. As additional indicators, the death rate among people of retirement age and the percentage of people with incomes below the average who seek paid medical services are used. Rating of Russian cities with the highest level of healthcare:

1. Moscow;
2. St. Petersburg;
3. Naberezhnye Chelny;
4. Tyumen.

It is important to remember that cardiac problems are a common cause of disability and premature death. Timely diagnosis and highly professional treatment can stop the development of cardiovascular diseases. People suffering from such ailments should pay attention to the presence of cardiological clinics in the city or region to which they plan to move. These medical institutions must meet modern standards. A large number of clinics providing high-quality treatment for vascular and heart diseases are concentrated in Moscow, however, there are high-tech cardio centers in other Russian cities. For example, the Tyumen Cardiology Research Center, the Novosibirsk Research Institute of Circulatory Pathology named after Academician E.N. Meshalkin and the Research Institute of Cardiology named after V.A. Almazov in St. Petersburg.

Many patients tend to get into the Novosibirsk Research Institute of Circulatory Pathology named after Academician E. N. Meshalkin

Standard of living

In Russia, Moscow and the regions of Siberia and the Far East, where there are large oil and gas fields, are leading in terms of income. The rest of the Russian regions are far behind the leaders. This trend has continued for many years. Rating of the average monthly income of working citizens in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in 2018:

1. Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (73091.7 rubles);
2. Moscow (70220.8 rubles);
3. Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (64097.55 rubles);
4. Nenets Autonomous Okrug (61592.85 rubles);
5. Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (58063.5 rubles).

The Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is distinguished not only by a high level of income, but also by beautiful nature

It is worth noting that in regions rich in hydrocarbon reserves, not only workers in the oil and gas industry receive high wages. For example, in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, which occupies the first line of the rating, the average monthly income of a school teacher is about 60 thousand rubles.

The leaders of the all-Russian list simultaneously top the income level ratings in the Central, Urals, Northwestern and Far Eastern federal districts. To complete the picture, it is worth comparing the average earnings of residents by federal districts:

1. Central Federal District (45312.3 rubles);
2. Northwestern, Urals, Far Eastern federal districts (40530.6 rubles);
3. Siberian Federal District (31081.05 rubles);
4. Southern, Privolzhsky federal districts (25957.8 rubles).

The average wage characterizes only one aspect of the standard of living. Another important aspect that should not be overlooked is the cost of living and the price level. Such an indicator as the affordability of housing will help to understand this issue. Rating of cities with the highest price of 1 square meter of housing:

1. Moscow (202269 rubles);
2. St. Petersburg (110114 rubles);
3. Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (104319 rubles);
4. Vladivostok (97576 rubles);
5. Sochi (95467 rubles).

For comparison, you should familiarize yourself with the list of cities with the lowest cost of 1 square meter of housing:

1. Nizhnekamsk (33501 rubles);
2. Novokuznetsk (33935 rubles);
3. Biysk (34558 rubles);
4. Rybinsk (36470 rubles);
5. Cherepovets (36806 rubles).

Settlements with affordable housing prices are mainly located in the Volga region, the Southern Urals and the Siberian Federal District.

Moscow is the financial center of the country

Climate

What climatic conditions are considered the most favorable for human health and life? Positive factors include minor day-to-day fluctuations in air temperature and the absence of sudden changes in atmospheric pressure. To strengthen the immune system, the human body needs to receive a lot of ultraviolet radiation, this is especially important for children. Therefore, a large number of sunny days a year has a positive impact on human health.

Taking into account the above criteria, the most comfortable climatic zones for living are the Azov, Black Sea and Caspian coasts. The following cities are located in these zones:

• Krasnodar;
• Sevastopol;
• Novorossiysk;
• Sochi.

Have you ever been to Sochi?! A wonderful place. Half a year summer, half a year off-season - green winter. I moved three years ago from Siberia. The climate is excellent, humid and hot for a maximum of two weeks in August.

Astrakhan combines favorable climate and spectacular views

Weather-dependent people should carefully approach the choice of a region for permanent residence. Their well-being is deteriorating not only from magnetic storms. It is affected by sudden changes in air temperature and atmospheric pressure. Daily temperature fluctuations up to 1–2 ° C are considered safe for people suffering from meteorological dependence. In the regions listed above, this indicator is kept within these limits.

Employment

For people of working age, the prospect of getting a job in the city chosen for moving is of critical importance. The employment potential of a city or region can be analyzed using several indicators. First of all, you need to find out what kind of competition exists in the local labor market. The number of applicants per vacancy is an indicator showing how intense the competition among job applicants is. You should also take into account the number of unemployed people in a given city and the percentage of its residents who want to move to another region for the purpose of employment. All these criteria together will help determine how attractive and promising a given city is for migrants seeking work.

1. Ryazan;
2. Vologda;
3. Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk;
4. Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky;
5. Vladivostok.

The best cities to live in Russia

If you are planning to move to a new place of residence for the long term or permanently, it is wise to opt for a sustainable and promising city. Many Russian cities have serious development potential and show promise for the future.

Kazan

This city of the Volga region is one of the largest tourist centers in Russia. It attracts about a million tourists every year. The industry of the city includes large chemical and aviation enterprises. Kazan is the leader in terms of housing construction in the Volga region.

Krasnoyarsk

The largest economic, educational and sports center of Central and Eastern Siberia. Multiple winner of the competition "The most comfortable city in Russia". One of the most attractive Russian cities for investment. The leading branches of Krasnoyarsk's economy are non-ferrous metallurgy and mechanical engineering. The population is growing constantly and at a rapid pace.

Krasnodar

The capital of the most economically powerful region in southern Russia. Krasnodar has repeatedly topped the ratings of the most favorable Russian cities for doing business. The industrial potential of the region successfully attracts domestic and foreign investors. The industrial complex of Krasnodar consists of many enterprises that employ about a third of the working population. In addition, Krasnodar is an important transport hub.

Novosibirsk

The Trans-Siberian Railway passes through Novosibirsk. This city has the largest logistics complex in Siberia. Its economy has a number of important advantages: a diversified industry, the development of the service sector, transport, logistics and science, the presence of a large number of small and medium-sized businesses. The population of Novosibirsk is growing thanks to migrants from other Russian regions and CIS countries.

Crime level

The complex criminal situation makes the city unattractive for migrants, even if it boasts high rates by other criteria. The desire to live in a safe place where there is little chance of becoming a victim of criminals often outweighs other arguments in favor of choosing one or another locality. There is a simple way to assess the level of crime - statistics on the number of crimes committed per 1,000 inhabitants. The safest cities in Russia according to this criterion:

1. Ryazan (7.8);
2. Ulyanovsk (11.3);
3. Voronezh (11.5);
4. St. Petersburg (12.0);
5. Penza (12.9).

It is also worth paying attention to the sad list of the most criminal cities in the Russian Federation. Comparison of a positive rating with a negative one shows how much the crime rate differs in different cities and regions.

1. Kemerovo (32.2);
2. Kurgan (31.9);
3. Tyumen (30.7);
4. Nizhny Novgorod (27.7);
5. Samara (24.3).

Child development

When choosing a permanent place of residence, families with children should give preference to environmentally friendly cities with a high quality of medical care. It is also worth asking about the availability of educational, sports and entertainment facilities. Cities that have a large number of such institutions and create conditions for the comprehensive development and education of children:

1. Kazan;
2. Belgorod;
3. Rostov-on-Don;
4. Kaliningrad;
5. Voronezh.

Kazan educational institutions are distinguished by good material equipment

In the case of moving with small children, it is advisable to avoid sudden changes in climate. If the climatic conditions at the new place of residence and the previous one are not too different, it will be easier for the child's body to endure the move.

prestige

Undoubtedly, the most prestigious city in Russia is its capital. Many Russians aspire to Moscow, hoping to realize their potential there. But it must be taken into account that other large Russian millionaire cities are gradually developing, improving and today they are not much inferior to Moscow. Among them, it is worth highlighting St. Petersburg, which is often called the cultural capital of Russia.

St. Petersburg attracts with a special cultural atmosphere

It is impossible to single out one city or region that meets all the requirements at the same time. For example, a city with a high level of average monthly wages may be environmentally unfavorable, so the choice of each migrant depends on personal preferences and life circumstances.
