Victoria has been named one of the top cities in the world to move to if you\u2019re Gen Z, albeit just barely.<\/p>\n

Remitley recently released its list of the \u201cbest cities in the world for Gen Z to move to,\u201d and Victoria came in 49th out of the top 50.<\/p>\n

The list was based on nine categories, including rent affordability, safety index, average monthly net salary, share of population aged 20-29, and more.<\/p>\n

The number one spot went to Copenhagen, Denmark, with a total score of 76.67 out of 100. The only Canadian city to make the top 10 cut was Ottawa in eighth place with a score of 68.77.<\/p>\n

Humble Victoria received a score of 63.46, edging out the 50th ranked city of Gothenburg, Sweden, which had an overall score of 63.35.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour 20s are a genuinely great time to take a leap. Whether you\u2019re eyeing a fresh start after university or college, chasing a job opportunity abroad, or just ready to live somewhere different,\u201d says Remitly.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving to a new city (or a new country entirely) can be one of the best decisions you\u2019ll ever make.\u201d<\/p>\n

The website praised Copenhagen as the best place to move to for Gen Z\u2019s because of its high average monthly salary and low youth unemployment rate.<\/p>\n

Ottawa, meanwhile, was highlighted for its salary and safety score, particularly in relation to the rest of Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cToronto usually gets all the attention, but Ottawa is a Canadian city worth considering for youngsters looking to relocate to North America,\u201d said Remitly.<\/p>\n

\u201cCanada\u2019s capital scored impressively on safety (68.4 \u2013 the highest out of any Canadian city analysed), LGBTQ+ equality (79\/100, one of the highest in the study), and affordability of a night out \u2013 especially compared to Canadian cities like Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall, Remitly analyzed 250 cities across the world to make its top 50 list.<\/p>\n

Other Canadian cities to land on the list include Calgary (21), Halifax (22), Montreal (28), Edmonton (35), Toronto (39), and Vancouver (43).<\/p>\n
