Having estimated 1114 cities in Russia (these are all cities in the country at the end of 2018), which were divided into 7 groups by population.

"The assessment took into account 36 indicators that characterize housing, road network, landscaping, public-business and social-leisure infrastructure, as well as city-wide space. For example, the proportion of the population living in hazardous housing, the number of deaths in road accidents, road congestion were assessed. , the state of green spaces, the concentration of cultural heritage sites, the availability of sports facilities, the proportion of children among the population The index methodology says that the Ministry of Construction used its own data, information from Rosstat, Rospotrebnadzor, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, cartographic, geographical systems, as well as information from social networks.

Each city could receive from 0 to 360 points. At the same time, settlements with an assessment of up to 180 points are considered, according to the index methodology, cities with an unfavorable urban environment, above 180 - with a favorable one. "

Let's see what happened to the officials and how their assessments coincide with!

Looking at these ratings, you need to understand that they are not always related to reality. Not all the cities that hit the first lines of the rating should be happy, not all outsiders should be sad. It's just that the index is calculated based on statistical data.

"The main methods of collecting information for the formation of the Index are state statistics, data from geographic information systems and remote sensing of territories."

That is, they upload data from various departments, then upload the data from Yandex.Maps - and the rating is ready!

Blind use of statistics allows for manipulation. So, at one time Moscow boasted hundreds of kilometers of bike paths. In reality, no one saw them, just all bus lanes were recorded on the bike paths. Or the police often incorrectly draw up an accident so as not to spoil the statistics. For example, if a person dies after some time in a hospital from injuries, then from the point of view of statistics he is not a victim of an accident.

Why make one good public space when you can make 10 fields with tiles and benches? For example, St. Petersburg is in second place after Moscow, but those who have been to St. Petersburg know that there is not a single normal public space in the city (New Holland is private and sometimes closed), it is impossible to walk on narrow sidewalks, there are parking lots and fences everywhere.

What do you think? Do you agree with the assessment of the Ministry of Construction, or has your city been offended again? Or maybe, on the contrary, overestimated?

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

The standard of living of the population is a combination of several factors. First of all, this, of course, is the size 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 security allows Russians to live with dignity. According to this criterion, the list of the best cities in Russia 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 conduct an already started business. This city is developing at a fast pace and provides a high standard of living for 1.2 million citizens. Kazan also pleases its residents and guests of the city with excellent highways, developed infrastructure, a variety of universities and research 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 wages 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.
Nevertheless, there are several nuances that prevent Moscow from being the city with the highest standard of living in Russia. For example, the unsatisfactory state of the environment, the high cost of buying and renting living space and frequent traffic jams.

Krasnodar

Krasnodar is home to more than 800 thousand people, each of them can enjoy the 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 people. About 10% of the working-age population of this corner of Russia is involved in the oil and gas industry.

The advantages of Tyumen are rightfully considered high-quality roads, 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 significant for moving to a permanent place of residence: beautiful architecture and nature, a variety of museums and cultural and historical attractions, a large concentration of prestigious universities and research institutes, high-quality housing and communal services and a modern healthcare system.

Russian cities with the best job prospects

For those who are of fundamental importance to the opportunity to find a well-paid job with decent working conditions, you should pay attention to such cities as Ryazan, Vologda, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Vladivostok. This rating was compiled using a detailed analysis of several important indicators. 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.

The most promising cities of the Russian Federation

Every migrant who plans to move permanently to a new city seeks to choose a city with sustainable infrastructure and great development potential. Those. a city with a promising future. There are 4 Russian cities with the greatest development potential: Kazan, Krasnoyarsk, Krasnodar and Novosibirsk.

This promising city on the banks of the Volga is one of the largest tourist centers in the Russian Federation, thanks to which thousands of tourists visit it every year. Kazan earned 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 regions of Siberia. An important note is that it was this city that several times became the owner of the title of "The most comfortable city in Russia". The leading sectors of the economy are as follows: mechanical engineering and, of course, non-ferrous metallurgy. The listed advantages bring more and more migrants to Krasnoyarsk every year.

Krasnodar

Krasnodar has been accompanied by a huge potential in economic terms in recent years. This city in southern Russia has repeatedly been at the top of the ranking of the most developed cities for doing business in the Russian Federation. In addition, there is a rapid development of industry, thanks to which domestic and foreign businessmen invest in this region. More than 30% of the working-age population is employed in a variety of enterprises, in particular, in machine-building plants.

Novosibirsk

The main indicator of the prospects of this city is the largest logistics center in all of Siberia. Also, the Trans-Siberian Railway runs through this region. Over the past decade, science, medium and small businesses, the transport system, the service sector and logistics have been actively developing in Novosibirsk. These advantages provide Novosibirsk with an annual increase in the number of residents, thanks to migrants from other cities of the Russian Federation and neighboring CIS countries.

Top cities in Russia in terms of wages

In the event that you need to move to another city in order to receive a large salary, you should pay attention to the following cities: Moscow, Tyumen, St. Petersburg, Kamchatka Territory, Yekaterinburg.

The capital is home to the largest number of enterprises, organizations and entertainment establishments, which provides the largest number of jobs throughout Russia. If desired, anyone can find a job, both a certified highly qualified specialist in any field, and an employee with no work experience or no education.

The average salary in this city is the highest in the entire Russian Federation and amounts to 56,000 rubles per month, which is almost 2 times more than the average salary throughout the country. Those wishing to find a job in Moscow will have to face tough competition, but finding a job, building a career and even starting their own business here is quite realistic.

Kamchatka

In the cities of the Kamchatka Territory, the monthly salary is slightly lower than in Moscow, and amounts to 51 thousand rubles. This most remote region of the Russian Federation is currently developing at a high-speed pace and offers a wide range of vacancies for specialists of different profiles. Nevertheless, not every visitor will like the wayward climatic conditions, but it is here that you can take a break from the noise of megacities, start a calm, measured life, and also get a decent wage for a fulfilling life.

It is worth remembering that despite a decent level of wages, prices in Kamchatka are quite high.

In this corner of western Siberia, the monthly salary is also quite high - 42,000 rubles, which corresponds to the "northern coefficient", which in the Tyumen region is 1.5. It is also important that highly qualified specialists can earn a lot at local enterprises, because it is here that the percentage of vacancies with a salary of 100,000 rubles and more is the highest in the Russian Federation. Decent pay also pleases the local education and medical workers.

St. Petersburg

The average salary in the northern capital of Russia is 39 thousand rubles a month, which is a fairly high figure. Finding a job in this city, as well as in Moscow, will be able not only to experienced specialists with high qualifications, but also to novice workers who are just beginning their professional development.

Ekaterinburg

You can also get a relatively high salary in this million-plus city in the Urals. Local workers earn an average of 28 thousand rubles a month. Most of the working-age population is involved in industry and services, but specialists of other profiles will also find their vocation here.

The advantage of Yekaterinburg for those who are going to move here for permanent residence is the low cost of buying and renting housing, when compared with other million-plus cities.

The best cities in Russia for retirees

If the desire inherent in youth to live in a noisy metropolis has already exhausted itself, and you want a quiet, measured life, then you should pay attention to cities such as Tula, Yaroslavl, Vladimir and Kostroma. These cozy corners of Russia have a developed infrastructure and all the benefits of a full life, but there are no noisy highways and large crowds of people. So it is these cities that will be the best option for the elderly.

The safest and most criminogenic cities in Russia

In addition to the size of wages, living standards and other positive factors, before moving to permanent residence, attention should be paid to other important criteria, for example, the crime rate. After all, even with a high salary and in excellent economic conditions, you will not want to live in a city in which it is unsafe.

More often than not, security becomes the prevailing factor for migrants, although people sometimes forget about this fundamental condition of a fulfilling life. To determine the safest cities in Russia, a simple statistical calculation of the number of crimes per 1,000 citizens was carried out. Based on this criterion, the safest cities in the Russian Federation are:

  • Ryazan (7.8);
  • Ulyanovsk (11.3);
  • Voronezh (11.5);
  • St. Petersburg (12.0);
  • Penza (12.9).

And on the reverse side, the settlements with the highest crime rate are given:

  • Kemerovo (32.2);
  • Kurgan (31.9);
  • Tyumen (30.7);
  • Nizhny Novgorod (27.7);
  • Samara (24.3).


Where is the best place to live with children

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 in which all of the above factors are present at a high level are listed below:

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

Cities with the most favorable ecology

Before moving, you should also think about the ecological situation in the new place of permanent residence. The Federal Agency for State Statistics 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 vastness of Russia is metropolitan 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 permanent residence should not only be based on various ratings and tops. After all, there are advantages and disadvantages everywhere. It is very important to have your own idea of \u200b\u200bwhich city is better to live in and how you can achieve the most comfortable living, because some factors are fundamental for someone, while for others the same factors are secondary and insignificant.

Recently the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federationreleased a study in which he named the 10 best cities in Russia in terms of quality of life. Cities were assessed according to five indicators: quality of health care, roads and road facilities, culture and education, housing, assessment of city government performance, and migration sentiment. We found out why it is really good to live in these cities.

1. Tyumen


It is not surprising that now the city is in the first place - the city infrastructure is actively developing in Tyumen. The quality of roads in the city is at a high level, but, unlike the capital of Russia, everything is nearby, so you don't have to stand 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 medical clinics and 19 state ones in Tyumen. The service is of a high standard. Education is also not bad - there are eight universities for every taste of the graduate, 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 city's population 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. Terrible


Grozny has the best roads in the country. 97% of the townspeople are satisfied with the state of the road facilities, and this already speaks volumes. The average salary is about 20 thousand rubles, which is higher than in the entire region. The city is being actively built up and restored, so there is where to walk and what to see. Grozny has three higher educational institutions and 25 medical clinics. In addition, unlike most cities, Grozny has a good mild climate and sultry summers. The bulk of the population is made up of believers, so clubs and other similar entertainments are not common here. Blogger Varlamov noted that, despite the sad story, you feel very safe in the city.

3. Kazan


Beautiful and historical Kazan has long attracted tourists. Usually it is visited third: after Moscow and St. Petersburg. Living here is also quite comfortable: good climate, convenient infrastructure, rich cultural life. The average salary is 37 thousand rubles a month, and since this is an industrial city, it is quite easy to find a job. There are more than 400 state and private clinics in Kazan. There are environmental problems, but they are not critical. Locals also complain about traffic problems, but these are also gradually being addressed. For example, a metro was built for the 1000th anniversary of Kazan.

4. St. Petersburg


The second most important city in Russia is not an ideal place to live. The 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, while housing costs several times more. But on the other hand, it is very interesting to live in St. Petersburg - this city surpasses all the others from the list in terms of the variety of cultural leisure. In addition, there is a wide list of higher educational institutions. There is where to be treated - 89 state clinics and hundreds of private ones.

5. Krasnodar


150 kilometers to the sea, warm climate, rich history - all this distinguishes Krasnodar from other cities. True, some do not like this climate - in summer the temperature can be higher than 40. Locals also complain about the environment - all the city beaches have long been closed, and the air purity leaves much to be desired. But there are also advantages - the work of housing and communal services is well organized, the infrastructure is quite good, the average salary is slightly higher than in the country (31 thousand rubles). The education and entertainment sector is well developed.

6. Ufa


FROM the majority of the Republic of Bashkortostan took 6th place in the ranking of prosperous cities. Ufa is a regional center, so there are many educational institutions to which students from all surrounding cities flock. The average salary is 30 thousand rubles. Various enterprises operate in the city, so there is a place to work here. The city has a well-developed infrastructure and good roads, and utilities are doing their job quite well. In general, Ufa, of course, is not an ideal city for life (in particular, there are environmental problems), but quite worthy. In addition, it does not stand still and is rapidly modernizing and changing.

7. Novosibirsk


The “capital of Siberia” is in 7th place. Novosibirsk is striking in its scope - there are multi-lane roads, huge buildings, wide areas. The city is actively being built up and modernized (by the way, there is a metro). There are dozens of educational institutions, cultural and sports facilities in the city. Everyone in Russia has heard about the famous Novosibirsk Academgorodok. And then there is a zoo and 16 cinemas. The disadvantages are the harsh continental climate (it is better to leave the house with a spare set of clothes), air pollution and, in general, not a very good ecological situation. But because of the developed industry, it is quite easy to find a job (the average salary is 30 thousand rubles).

8.Moscow


The capital of the city is located on the 8th line of the rating, and there are reasons for this. The average Muscovite will complain to you about hours of traffic jams, poor ecology, high cost of living and the need to get up at 5 am to get to work. But Moscow also has its advantages. For example, the highest average salary in the country (almost 70 thousand rubles), as well as wide opportunities for career growth and training. The cultural life of the capital is also very rich: concerts of world celebrities, exhibitions, festivals, etc. are regularly held. That is why thousands of young people come to the city every year, dreaming to prove themselves. In addition, in recent years, the mayor of Moscow has been actively developing infrastructure and solving existing problems.

9. Krasnoyarsk


Krasnoyarsk is located near the Yenisei River. For a long time it was the merchant center of Siberia, and now it is receiving diplomas forformation of an effective model of social support for the population. The climate of the city, by the way, has changed due to human activities. True, because of this, the ecological situation has also changed (Krasnoyarsk is regularly included in anti-ratings on this issue). But the city administration is actively working in this direction and is engaged in gardening Krasnoyarsk.The average salary is 38 thousand rubles, it is quite easy to find a job. It is not only an industrial but also a commercial city.In Krasnoyarsk, there are several maternity hospitals, an oncological center, several trauma centers, two large hospitals - the Regional Hospital and the Emergency Hospital. Utilities have always been in excellent condition in the city. There are interesting protected places very close to Krasnoyarsk, therefore tourism is also developing. In general, the city is really quite suitable for life.

10. Kemerovo

The city is the administrative center, so there are no problems with work here. The average salary is 26 thousand rubles.The climate is not the most pleasant - sharply continental with severe frosts and hot summers. The ecology in the city is bad - you cannot swim in the reservoirs, and the air is gassed. Despite these problems,living in the city of Kemerovo, in general, is comfortable. There are good roads, well-developed infrastructure, and low utility bills. Kemerovo is also a scientific and educational center of the region: services and trade are actively developing here. There are many shopping centers in the city, where you can not only find entertainment, but also work.

Are you satisfied with the city in which you live? Have you ever thought about moving to another location? If you wondered why? What do you dislike: the climate, the ecological situation, or maybe the economic situation? Where is the best place to live in Russia? Let's figure it out.

Where is it better to live in Russia: rating of cities from the category "who lives well in Russia"

Each year, ratings of the cities most comfortable for living are compiled. When compiling ratings, many factors are taken into account. These include: climatic conditions, infrastructure development, the availability of educational and medical institutions, the level of wages and much more.

If we consider the question of where it is better to live in Russia in terms of the level of wages, unemployment, and in general the opportunity to earn good money, then the following cities can be distinguished:

Moscow - the bells are ringing

No other city can compete with Moscow in the number of jobs. In the capital of Russia, both salaries are attractive and the standard of living. Here you can find work for everyone: from broad-based specialists to highly specialized specialists.

Favorable conditions have been created in Moscow for creating your own business. Even with strong competition, you can always find your niche in this huge metropolis.

It is not for nothing that such concepts as “Moscow is not rubber”, “have come in large numbers here” are heard by everyone - this suggests that many people continue to move to Moscow. Some come here for higher education, and then they remain for permanent residence.

In addition to Moscow itself, you can get a good job in the Moscow region. There is also enough work here with a good salary for everyone.

The main areas of activity that allow achieving high financial results in Moscow and the Moscow region include: marketing, trade, the latest technologies. Work in these areas is fairly well estimated in monetary terms.

City on the Neva - Saint Petersburg

A worthy competitor to Moscow in terms of the number of jobs is the country's second multimillionaire, St. Petersburg. This is one of the most beautiful cities in Russia, its cultural center. The very concept of "cultural center" should already make people think about getting a job in a real way for representatives of cultural professions.

A huge number of tourists from all countries flock to St. Petersburg - again, not free, of course, but a niche for the excursion and hotel business.

If you are tormented by the question of where it is better to live in Russia, then, of course, St. Petersburg is perfect for work, study, and recreation. But don't forget about the rainy and gloomy climate of this city.

It should be noted that Moscow and St. Petersburg love ambitious and motivated people, because despite the great prospects, it is quite difficult to break through in these megalopolises.

Well of oil and gas - Tyumen

In terms of living standards, Tyumen always occupies the first lines of the rating. This is evidenced by the statistical data on the survey of people living there. People note the quality of education, the climate, and the work of the communal services.

Tyumen has a high percentage of vacancies with a salary of over one hundred thousand rubles. The high northern coefficient also contributes.

The main areas of activity in Tyumen are oil and gas production, woodworking industry, battery production. Ie, these are quite "expensive" areas of employment.

Eh, Kamchatka - the cities of the Kamchatka Territory

Despite the high wages, Kamchatka is not suitable for everyone. This place is suitable for those seeking privacy. The main activity in Kamchatka is the extraction of fuel and energy minerals.

For those who consider Kamchatka as their place of permanent residence, information about business opportunities will not be superfluous. Firstly, these are projects to introduce the latest technologies for processing fish and seafood. Secondly, it is the field of tourism.

Yekaterinburg - are you from the Urals?

Yekaterinburg is one of the important scientific and industrial centers of Russia. Various industries are concentrated here, from machine-building to light. The trade area is also well developed. So jobs are provided for everyone.

The market for services is also widely developed in the metropolis, which in turn makes it possible for people of completely different professions to find jobs. Yekaterinburg is also a major transport hub connecting seven railway lines.

A large number of educational institutions are concentrated in Yekaterinburg, and these are prospects for young people, who, undoubtedly, are thinking about where it is better to live in Russia. It should also be noted that Yekaterinburg is distinguished by rather attractive housing prices compared to other megacities.

Of course, these are not all cities that offer us a real opportunity to earn extra money. Statistics are unpredictable things, leading to first places in the rating of one or another city. In terms of favorable conditions for doing business, cities such as Ufa, Belgorod, Irkutsk, Krasnodar, Kaliningrad, Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, and Sochi also occupy high positions.

It should be noted that it is also necessary to take into account when researching where it is better to live in Russia rating by region. So, for example, in terms of the average level of wages, the top five leaders include such regions as:

  • Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, where most of the oil and gas production throughout the country is concentrated;
  • Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, known for its mining industry;
  • Khanty - Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, which is not inferior in terms of gas reserves to Yamalo-Nenets;
  • Nenets Autonomous Okrug, famous for its fishing and forestry industries, as well as the Vasilkovo-Naryan-Mar Gas Pipeline;
  • Magadan Region, the main field of activity of which is the fishing industry and gold mining.

Of course, when deciding to move to these regions for high salaries, do not forget about other equally important factors, such as climatic conditions and assessments of the quality of life in general.

So, you found out where you can earn extra money. But work is not the most important thing in life. There is also a family and children. You also need to think about old age. We travel across Russia in search of a better life through the prism of family values \u200b\u200band environmental conditions. We will look for where it is better for pensioners to live in Russia, as well as where to move with children.

Where is it better for pensioners to live in Russia?

Where to get money to start your own business? This is the problem that 95% of aspiring entrepreneurs face! In the article, we have revealed the most relevant ways to get start-up capital for an entrepreneur. We also recommend that you carefully study the results of our experiment in the exchange earnings:

When choosing a place of residence for retirees, factors such as the ability to earn retirement should be considered, of course, if desired. Also, health factor is equally important. It is no secret that older people suffer from various kinds of diseases. Therefore, when looking for a place where it is better to live for pensioners in Russia, it is necessary to take into account the climate and the ecological situation.

Do not forget about the size of the pension in a particular region, because the majority of pensioners live only on the pension. You should also take into account the utilities infrastructure, the size of the food basket, i.e. all those factors that make up the expenditure side of the pensioner's budget.

Having studied all this, one can come to the sad conclusion that it is better for a pensioner to live abroad, where the size of the pension allows not to survive, but to really live!

But what about Russia? Where is it better to live in Russia: rating of Russian cities comfortable for retirement.

  • Irkutsk

Features: an increased pension due to subsidies for pensioners living in the Far North, affordable housing and communal services costs and a grocery basket.

  • Tula and Bryansk regions

Features: a fairly high index of well-being, which shows the amount of free funds remaining with pensioners after basic expenses (housing and communal services, a grocery basket and medicines).

  • Sarapul, Mineralnye vody, Taganrog Sochi, Kostroma, Pskov

Feature: environmentally friendly environment

  • Yaroslavl

Feature: one of the lowest rates for utility bills in Russia

  • Krasnodar region

Of course, everyone decides for himself where it is better to live in Russia, based on his own criteria. For some, the main thing is material well-being, for someone - the development of agriculture, and for the third, a favorable climate is important.

It is worth once again paying special attention to the fact that retirees are a category of people who suffer from various diseases. And not only pensioners, what can I say. Therefore, when choosing a place of residence, do not neglect the fact that hypertension is not always good, where allergies or asthmatics are good. Here the climate is of great importance.

Features: favorable climate, well-developed healthcare system.

Where is the best place to live in Russia with children?

When answering the question “Where is it better to live with children in Russia?” One should take into account such factors as the availability of educational institutions and medical care. Pay attention to the crime rate.

Also, when moving, you need to take into account the climatic conditions. It is advisable, if the child is small, that the climate of the two cities - in which you live and in which you plan to move - does not differ much. And if children have weak immunity, then give preference to the coastal regions.

  • Kazan
  • Belgorod, Voronezh

    Also, one of the largest research and educational centers, occupying top positions in the ranking.

  • Rostov-on-Don

    Cultural and educational center with a huge number of entertainment facilities for children and young people.

  • Kaliningrad

Of course, you can still list the places where it is better to live in Russia. To identify the best place, ratings and polls are conducted annually. Moreover, both large cities with a population of one million and small ones are compared. If a city entered the top five this year, it does not mean that it will hold this position next year. It is quite difficult to find a place that would suit all indicators: both for doing business and for favorable conditions for children and elderly parents. Even such a question as “where is it better to live by the sea in Russia” is worth pondering. Of course, no one argues about a favorable climate, but is there an opportunity to find a good job everywhere?

How many people, so many opinions. And when making such an important decision as moving to another city, you need to consider both your goals and expectations from the move, and the composition of the family. It is always easier for one to get off the ground, it is easier to endure, for example, an unfavorable climate in the name of receiving high wages.

Many consider Kaliningrad to be the best in terms of quality of life and attention, for doing business. Moreover, it is the most European city. Therefore, when considering options for where it is better to live with children in Russia, do not disregard this city.

Where is the best place to live by the sea in Russia?

Many residents of Russia who want to change their place of residence opt for cities in central or southern Russia. This is especially true for residents of northern cities who lack the sea and sun. And experts recommend moving to the sea for children who are constantly sick with colds. Again, the southern climate is the most favorable for pensioners.

So, where is it better to live by the sea in Russia, so that, as they say, "the wolves are fed and the sheep are safe"? Let's stop at a couple of towns.


To conclude our search for a better life in Russia, we should also mention the four cities in which the happiest people live. Maybe this very criterion will be decisive in your choice. So, Grozny, Tyumen, Kazan, Surgut were included in the top four. And in general, if you analyze the entire article, you can find the intersection of many cities in lists of different importance. The same Krasnodar or Sochi appeared almost everywhere: they are favorable both for doing business and for living in retirement. Everything has already been said about moving with children to these southern sea towns.

Note that there is no smell of Moscow and St. Petersburg. But you can pay closer attention to Tyumen and Kazan. Tyumen was noted in the TOP of the "richest" cities in Russia, where there is a real opportunity to earn money. And we observed Kazan in the list of favorable places for moving with children.

Conclusion

So, we have found out where it is better to live in Russia from the point of view of experts and opinion polls - now the choice is yours. Research, compare which criteria are paramount for you, and which are not very important. Don't forget to take into account who you are going to live with in the new place, so that their interests are also taken into account.

And whatever city you choose to live in: your home town or one of the five leaders in terms of quality of life, be sure to consider your preferences. Some people like large metropolises, with many "factories and ships", while others prefer a more peaceful life in the outback. Good luck with your choice!

Due to the large geographical extent for several time and geographical zones, living conditions in different regions of the country differ markedly. There is no definite answer to the question of where is it better to live in Russia. Of course, there is a rating of cities and regions according to various criteria. But when choosing a place of residence, everyone has different priorities. What suits one person is categorically disliked by another. Therefore, when choosing a place of residence, you should focus not only on key indicators, but also on your own priorities.

Different parts of our country are fundamentally different from each other. These are both natural-climatic and socio-economic features. Where it is good to live in Russia depends on priorities. Those who like the mild climate move to the southern regions of the country. Those who need big earnings go to the capital or to places where a high regional coefficient is added to the salary.

The cities of the European part of the country are located more compactly, of which it is easier to get to Moscow and St. Petersburg. The population density beyond the Urals is much lower, the settlements are located at a great distance from each other. This makes travel difficult - it takes a long time to get by land transport, and it is expensive by plane. Another feature of these cities is the emphasis on the extractive and manufacturing industries. Because of this, the environment suffers, and many professions are fraught with the development of chronic diseases.

Northern regions attract those who need good earnings. High salaries are complemented by preferential seniority. But the climate for living there is very harsh, which is why many residents suffer from chronic diseases. Due to the permafrost, it is difficult to get there for much of the year.

In the south, the climate is mild, but due to the proximity to the sea, there is often high humidity. Allergy sufferers can get into trouble with a large number of flowering plants. But the absence of large industrial enterprises has a favorable effect on the environment - the level of pollution in southern cities is much lower than in their northern industrial counterparts.

Favorable cities for resettlement

  • standard of living;
  • climatic conditions;
  • ecology;
  • developed infrastructure;
  • social security;
  • economic growth rates and investment attractiveness.

All this creates comfortable living conditions for indigenous people and facilitates the adaptation of newly arrived. The goals of the move also play an important role. For young people, the key often becomes the opportunity to find a high-paying job with career prospects. Couples are looking for a city with a developed infrastructure, where they and their children will be comfortable, and it will not take two hours to get to a clinic or school in traffic jams. Older people value stability and comfort.

Climate

When choosing conditions for this parameter, people, first of all, pay attention to the temperature in summer and winter. For many, humidity is of no small importance. The number of sunny days and precipitation plays a lesser role. Sometimes the choice of climate is a matter of preference. However, situations are not uncommon when health is a decisive factor. For example, hot and humid climates are not good for asthmatics.

Standard of living

When determining which city to move to live in Russia, this indicator often becomes a key factor for making a decision. It includes a set of factors: the availability of jobs, the amount of wages, the cost of the consumer basket.

Medical service

The availability and quality of this kind of services is an important criterion when choosing a new place of residence. This is especially true for retirees, parents with small children and people with chronic diseases.

Employment

The availability of vacancies in most cases depends on the size of the locality. The main sector of the economy and the presence of city-forming enterprises also play an important role. The Ural and Siberian cities are historically oriented towards the industrial sector. The southern ones - for tourism and agriculture. Seaside towns are a merchant fleet and seafood mining.

In recent years, the sphere of trade and services has been actively developing in all settlements. But a feature of this industry is the focus on premium wages, which does not suit everyone. When choosing where to move to live in Russia to earn money, you need to consider several factors:

  • the level of income in the capitals of the subjects of the Russian Federation is higher than in the regional centers;
  • salary levels are highly industry-specific. According to statistics, the highest incomes are in the oil and gas industry, the financial sector, fishing, and transport. But agriculture is poorly paid;
  • in addition to the size of salaries, you also need to take into account the cost of housing and a grocery basket. For example, in the northern regions, high wages are partially offset by expensive products: since the local climate is not intended for agriculture, most of the goods are delivered from other regions, which affects their cost.

Interesting statistics reflecting the levels of average wages by region in 2019 Territories with the highest wages are presented in the table below.

The following table shows the regions with the lowest wages:

Promising cities

When choosing a city, many people, first of all, evaluate settlements according to this parameter. This includes the rate of their growth, the ability for a resident to find a job and make a career. Also in such cities, the service and entertainment sector is actively developing, Russian and international investments are attracted. Some promising regions of Russia for moving will be considered further.

Family reunification in Russia

Kazan

The city is one of the most promising in the country. It attracts with a relatively high level of salaries, a large number of jobs and a developed social sphere. There are many beautiful views and places for families to relax. A large international airport makes it possible to fly to other countries on vacation. The climate in the city is quite comfortable. Summers are warm with moderate humidity. Winters are generally mild; severe frosts are rare.

Of the shortcomings, a rather pronounced monoculture can be distinguished. Tatars are the titular nation, Tatar speech is constantly heard around. For people who do not speak the national language, this can cause certain psychological discomfort. Islam, although not as clearly expressed as in the republics of the North Caucasus, is still the predominant religion.

Krasnoyarsk

A large city on the Yenisei, an industrial and cultural center of Eastern Siberia. Krasnoyarsk leads the list of landscaping. The rapid development of infrastructure and rather high salaries attract many to the city. Among the shortcomings is the harsh Siberian winter, a significant distance from other large cities.

Novosibirsk

It is the largest city in Western Siberia, the third largest city in the Russian Federation. Novosibirsk combines industrial and scientific spheres, so people of different specialties can realize themselves there. The level of salaries in the city is quite high. The climate is sharply continental, with short hot summers and long frosty winters.

Krasnodar

This southern city with a mild climate has been rapidly growing and developing in recent years, including at the expense of numerous visitors. A large number of vacancies make it easy to find a job. The most developed sphere of trade and services. There are practically no large industrial enterprises, which until recently was the key to a good environmental situation. However, in recent years, this indicator has worsened due to an increase in cars and, as a result, a deterioration in the composition of the air, gas pollution.

Crime level

The criminal situation in the city is one of the most important factors when choosing a place of residence. The low level of serious crimes guarantees the safety of life and health. A small number of thefts and robberies will allow you not to worry about your property.

Special resettlement programs

When deciding which city to choose for living in Russia, it is worth paying attention to the strategically important regions for the state. The territory of Russia is populated unevenly. Most of the population lives in the European part of the country, in the Urals and Western Siberia. The northern regions, Eastern Siberia and the Far East are much less populated. To ensure the influx of the population, including qualified specialists, state support programs are proposed. For those who are ready for long-distance travel, this is a good opportunity to purchase their own home and find a job.

At the government level, a program of resettlement to the Far East for Russians has been developed. It involves the provision of free land and the payment of lifting costs to everyone who decides to move. But this requires fulfilling a number of conditions, in particular, living in a new place for a certain amount of time.

Where is the easiest place to get a quote

The government is interested in settling underdeveloped lands and remote regions. Therefore, in Buryatia, the Trans-Baikal and Primorsky Territories, the Amur and Magadan Regions, as well as some other subjects of the Federation, it is easiest for foreigners to obtain a RNP and a residence permit. In addition, the government program provides assistance in relocation and employment.

Where better to go to live with children

People who want to change the city and are looking for where to move to live in Russia with children are primarily interested in the following aspects:

  • the quality of basic and higher education: schools and universities;
  • availability and a wide range of additional education: circles, sections, etc.
  • security;
  • quality medical care;
  • favorable ecological conditions and good climate;
  • developed infrastructure for family recreation: parks for walking, children's cafes, etc.

And also when moving, you should pay attention to acclimatization: the younger the child, the less harsh it should be.

Choosing a suitable place for retirees

The priorities of older people when choosing a place to live are changing. The need to pursue a career and receive a high salary is no longer relevant for many. The first place is taken by a calm atmosphere, a low crime rate, good medical care, and affordable prices. Therefore, the best small towns in Russia are more attractive for pensioners. Much depends on the character of the person, on the state of his health, as well as on the opportunity to see children and grandchildren.

Podolsk

A small town near Moscow, on the one hand, is close enough to the capital, on the other, it is devoid of the bustle and smog of the metropolis. Podolsk is one of the most developed regions of the Moscow region. A program of resettlement from dilapidated housing and the construction of new houses is actively underway.

Belgorod

A small town in central Russia near the border with Ukraine. The mild climate and friendly population make it attractive for moving. There are many green spaces in Belgorod, so the ecological situation in the city is quite favorable.

Permanent residence by the sea

Most of the country is located in an area with a fairly cool climate. Therefore, many in Russia are looking for where to move to permanent residence, where it is warm and at the same time there is work. The southern regions are focused primarily on the tourism sector, there are practically no large industrial enterprises there. Therefore, people with specialized education will not be able to find work in their specialty.

The main peak of economic activity occurs in the summer months. In winter, life in cities stops, many shops and cafes are closed for this time. Not everyone likes such an uneven pace of life and earnings. The attractiveness of the northern and Far Eastern coastal cities is much lower. The climate there is more severe, so the main work of the local population is associated with fishing. Some of the coastal cities are the bases of the merchant and navy.

Sochi

The holding of the Winter Olympic Games has become an impetus for the development of the city and increased its tourist attractiveness. Unlike other resort towns of the Krasnodar Territory, people come here in winter - to a ski resort. Therefore, the seasonality of earnings is less pronounced here.

Crimea

After the peninsula became part of Russia, many began to wonder how. In addition to the mild climate, many are attracted by the tax incentives established in the region. A large flow of tourists makes it possible to open a business and quickly develop a business.

In the question of how to choose a city to move, the cost of housing plays a significant role. Real estate prices depend on the size of the settlement and on its attractiveness in the eyes of visitors. It is expensive not only to buy your own home, but also to rent it. In megalopolises, pendulum migration is not uncommon - when people live in nearby settlements, and go to work in a neighboring city. Property prices for Q2 2019 are presented below.

City rating

Each settlement is good in its own way. However, among the cities of Russia there are those that attract a large number of external and internal migrants.

Moscow

The capital of the country traditionally attracts energetic and ambitious people. A large number of large companies, including international ones, are like a magnet for those wishing to realize themselves and make a career. Those who need to work with permanent residence in Russia often start their searches from the capital.

However, the Moscow rhythm of life does not suit everyone. Long distances, combined with traffic jams, make it difficult to move around the city. Added to this is a strong gas content. Expensive housing and a high level of competition in the labor market force those who have not been able to realize their plans to leave the capital.

St. Petersburg

The "cultural capital" is also very popular with migrants and residents of the country. The proximity of the Finnish border makes it easier to obtain a Schengen visa and travel to Europe. There are many universities in the city, including military ones, which attracts a large number of students to St. Petersburg. Finding a job here is also pretty easy.

Of the shortcomings of life in St. Petersburg, many note the climate. Strong winds from the Neva and the Gulf of Finland, high humidity, frequent rains and a small number of sunny days often have a depressing effect on visitors. Besides the weather, the economic factor also affects. The lower, in comparison with Moscow, the level of wages, combined with the high cost of housing, forces many migrants to look for where to move from St. Petersburg to live in Russia.

Tyumen

One of the largest centers of the oil and gas industry. In Tyumen, salaries are quite high, the housing and communal services industry is well developed, many residential buildings, cultural and sports facilities are being built. The authorities invest a lot of money in the social sphere. The climate, as in the whole of Southern Siberia, is sharply continental - with short hot summers and longer cold winters.
