lifestyle news: why you should move to adelaide

The results of the Mercer cost of living survey has just been released for 2010 and if you live in Adelaide, you have something to smile about - the South Australian capital has been ranked as the nation's most inexpensive city to live in. And the most expensive? Sydney, of course. Melbourne came in as the second most expensive, followed by Brisbane. 

The survey covers 214 cities across five continents and measures the comparative cost of over 200 items in each location, including housing, transport, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment. It measures the comparative cost of the cost of living for expatriates living in any given country, using New York as the base city against which all other cities are compared.

Shockingly, Sydney has been ranked as more expensive for expatriates to live in than New York - the Australian city came in at number 24 of the cities ranked, with New York coming in at 27. And the most expensive city in the world? Luanda, Angola.

  • Congratulations DIGGAS, that made no sense. REPORT COMMENT

  • agree with you completely DIGGAS REPORT COMMENT

  • I think DIGGAS has a new dictionary. Shame he doesn't read what the words mean. Too funny. REPORT COMMENT

  • Yes Adelaide would be so. Alas for most it`s too cold. Places like Sydney and Melbourne, are ridiculous. Not to mention the absolute upstarts that live there. Then decide it would be to lovely to go to a seaside town and make a our easy going standards to theirs. Snobs. Go Adelaide makr the place to be even more affordable. REPORT COMMENT

  • you wouldn't believe we all live in AUSTRALIA would you? Yes, Adelaide is behind the rest of the country with development, but it doesn’t deserve some of the crap that has been written here. DIGGAS, I am blown away by the fact that you write that, then have the nerve to call SA a town of snobs, really, you might want to take a good look at yourself before you call a complete city 'SNOBS'. I am not sure what has happened to you in Adelaide for you to say all of that, get over it, it's just an article. REPORT COMMENT
