Which city do you think is the most livable?

On one side is the sea breeze, on the other side there are numerous trees and evergreen trees all year round. It is known as the "Switzerland of the East" and the undisputed "happiest city".

Second place: Zhuhai. Zhuhai's geographical location is really good. It faces Hong Kong and Shenzhen across the sea to the east, and is connected to Macau to the south. Although its economic development is not as good as that of north, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, as one of the first special economic zones in the country to reform and open up, living in Zhuhai is comfortable.

The transportation here is convenient, the pace is slower than in Shenzhen, and people live a relatively leisurely life. It is always described as "half city with mountains and half city with lakes".

Fourth place: Shenzhen. Among first-tier cities, Shenzhen scored the highest in all four indicators, making it the most livable city. It is the window for China's reform and opening up, creating the world-renowned "Shenzhen Speed". It has the most livable environment and has nurtured endless entrepreneurial miracles. Shenzhen is really a place that people yearn for.

Fifth place: Jinhua. The ancient city of Jinhua, "Wuzhou", was named Jinhua because it was located at the place where Venus and Wu Nu competed for their beauty. Since the establishment of the "China's Top Ten Livable Cities" rankings, Jinhua has been on the list nine times. The water leads to the southern country for three thousand miles, and the air pressure is in the fourteen states of Jiangcheng. Jinhua’s strength should not be underestimated. This city, known as “a land of history and culture and a land of beautiful mountains and rivers,” is worth looking forward to.

Sixth place: Yantai

As a prefecture-level city in Shandong Province, Yantai has been highly vocal in terms of livability in recent years.

It even occupied the championship position in the "2019 Livability Index Ranking of 100 Cities in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan".

Big data records the real changes in urban development and residents’ lives, and continuous research on the development context behind it gives the data more meaning. On May 27, 2021, Shell Research Institute released the "2021 New First-tier Cities Living Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"). The report objectively describes and analyzes the residential ecology of urban people from the perspectives of home ownership characteristics, residential competitiveness, residential affordability, and immigration cities.

After releasing this type of report for two consecutive years, this year the Shell Research Institute expanded the city scope to 35 cities, including 4 first-tier cities, 15 new first-tier cities and 16 second-tier cities. In addition, the report also uses scientific calculation methods to provide a "residential competitiveness index", a "residential affordability index" and an "immigration index" to comprehensively measure the quality, ease and population changes of urban living.

The report shows that not only the age of home buyers in first-tier cities is significantly higher, about 36.9 years old, but also the proportion of female homebuyers in first-tier cities is the highest among all types of cities, reaching 48.79%; in terms of home purchase characteristics, recent Half of the respondents do not accept long-term renting or buying, and two-bedroom small apartments are the main transaction types. Looking at cities, Shenzhen, as a typical representative of "stressful modern cities", has "residential competitiveness, housing affordability, and housing price-to-income ratio". It is the highest, with 70% of the houses sold coming from outside the city. Changsha is a typical residential-friendly city, with the lowest living burden and a relatively high residential competitiveness index.

Seven aspects provide a complete picture of "whether to buy and how to buy" in 35 cities

The Shell Research Institute conducted public data collection and online research on the 35 cities. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on the home-buying crowd, elaborating on their different characteristics in terms of age, gender distribution, source of funds, bedroom structure, space preference, real estate changes, willingness to rent and purchase, etc.

Limited by the high threshold for "getting on the bus", the pressure on buyers in first-tier cities is greater. This is reflected in the age structure. The age of buyers in first-tier cities is obviously higher, and the age of buyers of new and second-hand houses is higher. They are 36.6 years old and 37.2 years old respectively; while new first-tier cities and second-tier cities have not yet entered the stock market, so the age of new house buyers is lower than that of second-hand houses.

Under the influence of multiple factors such as the increase in the proportion of highly educated women, the impact of the one-child policy, and changes in traditional marriage concepts, the "her economy" has risen. Report data shows that the proportion of female home buyers in first-tier cities has reached 48.79%, and this proportion has also increased to varying degrees in new first-tier and second-tier cities.

For most people, getting a loan to buy a house is a necessary process. In the Shell Research Institute's survey, only 31.8% of housing consumers did not have loans. Among the loan respondents, only 13.6% have repaid their loans, of which 65.7% have repaid in advance. The lower the city's energy level, the higher the proportion of prepayment.

The report found that in 35 cities, two-bedroom apartments have become the main transaction type. First-tier cities represented by Beijing and Shanghai have a relatively high proportion of two-bedroom transactions. The percentage of three-bedroom units transacted follows closely behind, with cities such as Foshan, Nanchang and Changsha having a higher proportion of three-bedroom units. In addition to being affected by the supply side, the pressure to buy houses in these cities is relatively low.

In terms of spatial living preferences, people are gradually moving from "home ownership" to "home ownership." 30.4% of consumers hope to have a "quiet bedroom with no noise", "warm and well-designed kitchen", "balcony for planting and resting", and "large living room for gathering with friends" are also affected to a certain extent. welcome.

Buying or renting a house has always been a problem that plagues contemporary young people. In this survey by the Shell Research Institute, 49.8% of the respondents could not accept long-term renting instead of buying a house, believing that only by owning a house can they feel safe. First-tier cities have the lowest proportion of people who cannot accept long-term renting instead of buying a house, and the proportion of women who cannot accept it is higher than that of men.

In addition, the name of the property also contains people’s beautiful imagination of living life. Beijing's international style coexists with retro style. The modifier "international" is widely used, and "hutong" reflects the typical retro features of old Beijing. Words such as "new village" and "neighborhood" appear most frequently in Shanghai; "international" and "international" are used in real estate in Shenzhen. Words such as "center" and "century" are commonly used.
