According to the 2018 Global cost of living report, the 10 most expensive cities this year are: Singapore, Paris, Zurich, Hong Kong, Oslo, Geneva, Seoul, Copenhagen, Tel Aviv, Sydney.
Singapore is the world's most expensive city for the fifth year in a row, and Sydney, Australia, ranks tenth, the only capital city in Australia to rank among the top 10!
As a result, Sydney has become the most expensive city in Australia.
The report, based on the U.S. City of New York, surveyed 133 cities around the world and compared prices for more than 150 categories of goods and services.
As a city island with a population of 5.6 million, Singapore's cost of living is 16% higher than New York, which is particularly expensive for certain specific projects, such as the world's most expensive private car, and the world's third-expensive.
Hong Kong, the fourth-most expensive city in China, is 11 percent more expensive than New York, although some cities in South Asia remain the most affordable in Asia. But there is a great risk of living in these cities. Under the influence of political or economic chaos, residents face uncertainty such as war, personal safety and very low labor force.
And according to statistics,
"the cost of living in Melbourne and Sydney is nearly 20 percent higher than that in Adelaide, and the cost of living in Brisbane and Perth is close to 10 percent higher than in Adelaide."
Congratulations ~ after becoming one of the world's 10 healthiest cities and one of the world's 10 most livable cities, Adelaide is once again holding the honorary title of all Australia's economically applicable cities ~
Let's take the rent, which accounts for the largest share of expenses. The average Adelaide apartment rents a mere A $285 a week, compared with A $520 in Sydney, almost twice as much as Adelaide! It's still a luxury price for a person, and if you share it with a friend, it'll be cheaper to share it with a person.
Adelaide's household spending is also low across Australia, spending an average of A $1000 a week, compared with more than A $1200 per household in other capital cities.

But good prices don't mean safe living. Melbourne, for example, was pulled out of the world's No. 1 city shrine this year because of its poor urban stability.
