Mapping the Quality of Life Around the World

Mapping the Quality of Life Around the World

We have previously posted maps showing the cost of living, monthly disposable income, and what matters most to people in each country in the world.

Today’s map on quality of life uses the same concept as well as information from Numbeo, the world’s largest user-generated database on cities and countries.

In this case, the Quality of Life Index is generated using actual information from the population rather than government statistics. The index is based on seven factors: safety, healthcare, consumer prices, purchasing power, traffic commute, pollution, and property price to income ratio.

Switzerland ranked in first place by a wide margin for quality of life, followed by fellow European countries such as Denmark, Germany, Finland, and Sweden. Surprisingly, Saudi Arabia and Oman came in #5 and #6 respectfully. Both Middle Eastern countries have lower consumer and property prices, making income and purchasing power going further.
The United States came in 10th and Canada finished 12th.

On the bottom of the list were countries such as Cuba, Venezuela, Ghana, Mongolia, Myanmar, and Syria. The one surprise on the bottom may be Peru, which is considered an upper middle income country by the World Bank.

Car Brand Loyalty in 2024

This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

This graphic visualizes the best and worst car brands in terms of brand loyalty. This is measured by the % of current owners who would buy from the same brand for their next vehicle.

Data comes from Consumer Reports’ owner satisfaction survey, which includes responses from owners of more than 330,000 vehicles.

Car Brands With the Most Loyal Customers

Rivian takes the top spot in this ranking, with 86% of owners saying they would buy from the brand again. The EV startup has carved an interesting niche for itself with its outdoor adventure-focused models, and despite several recalls, appears to have won the hearts of its early customers.

Company% who would buy again
🇺🇸 Rivian86
🇩🇪 Mini77
🇩🇪 BMW76
🇩🇪 Porsche76
🇺🇸 Tesla74
🇰🇷 Genesis73
🇯🇵 Lexus73
🇯🇵 Subaru70

It’s interesting to note that Tesla held the #1 spot in last year’s ranking.

Car Brands With the Least Loyal Customers

At the other end of the spectrum we have brands with the least loyal customers, suggesting that owners are less satisfied with their purchase.

Company% who would buy again
🇺🇸 Cadillac61
🇺🇸 Chrysler60
🇩🇪 Mercedes-Benz59
🇩🇪 Audi59
🇺🇸 Jeep58
🇯🇵 Nissan55
🇩🇪 Volkswagen51
🇯🇵 Infiniti43

At the bottom of this table is Nissan’s luxury marque, Infiniti, with only 43% of owners saying they would revisit the brand for their next car.

Infiniti dealerships are aware of this alarming trend, and have attributed it to the brand’s aging lineup. In a recent interview, Steve Lapin, Chairman of the Infiniti National Dealer Advisory Board, said: “Product is king. Infiniti doesn’t have the right products right now to compete in the marketplace.”
