Rating of Russian regions by living standards 2019

According to statistics, every year in Russia, about 3% of the population move to a new place of residence. It would seem that the figure is small. However, if we take into account that with the change of year the composition of immigrants is almost completely renewed, it turns out that over a decade, more than a quarter of Russians move to other places.

Where exactly are they going and where are they trying to quickly disappear from? The answer to this question is given by the research "RIA Novosti", which determined the most the best regions of Russia in terms of living standards 2019. They have the highest standard of living, high wages, little unemployment, good ecology and climate, decent health care and a developed transport network.

The study is based on data from the Ministry of Finance, Rosstat, Ministry of Health, Bank of Russia and other sources.

10. Kaliningrad region

In tenth place is a small region sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland. The Kaliningrad region has taken the best from Europe and the Baltic - from architecture to part of the Curonian Spit, a favorite vacation spot for Russians. There are few people living there - just over a million, and in the largest city (Kaliningrad) there are only 475 thousand inhabitants.

9. Lipetsk region

Compared to last year's rating of the quality of life in the regions of the Russian Federation, things in the Lipetsk region are worse. From eighth place, she moved to ninth. However, this has nothing to do with the national debt, on the contrary. As a rule, the more money the region owes to the Ministry of Finance, the better it does. So far, the Lipetsk region occupies a modest 16th line in the list of debtors.

It is the leader in other indicators, and primarily in investment activity. The region, already famous for its developed industry, which even the nineties could not completely mow down, is going to launch six new enterprises in 2019 in cooperation with foreign comrades. So there will be even more work for local residents.

8. Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Ugra

But Ugra has risen from ninth to eighth line in the list of the most prosperous regions of Russia. The only Siberian region in the top 10 got its rightful place primarily due to the "oil money". It is not for nothing that Surgut has some of the highest salaries among all cities in Russia. He is in the top ten the best cities in Russia in terms of quality of life.

Unlike the “debt” Lipetsk region, Ugra is completely self-sufficient, and has been a donor region for several years. Despite the harsh Siberian climate, the sweltering cold in winter and the all-pervading nastiness in the summer, people continue to go there. Every year the region's population is growing steadily by at least 20 thousand people.

7. Voronezh region

For several years now, the Voronezh region has been in second place in terms of the number of visitors, both from the countries of the former CIS and Russians. They are attracted primarily by earning opportunities, since according to statistics, the unemployment rate in the region does not exceed 1%.

Voronezh residents work both in industrial enterprises and in the rural area - the Voronezh region is one of the leaders in Russia in the production of grain crops and potatoes. In addition, she recently received first place in the rating of the Ministry of Culture for "information activity of cultural life". That's it, otherwise it's all "Peter, Peter".

6. Krasnodar Territory

The debts of the Krasnodar Territory to the Russian Federation exceed 140 billion rubles. It is immediately clear which region our state considers valuable and is ready to lend it its powerful financial shoulder.

The Krasnodar Territory, already extremely important for the country as a granary and one of the most popular regions for tourism, received even more importance in connection with the annexation of Crimea. It is through the bridge connecting the Taman Peninsula and Kerch that the automobile communication with the new territory goes.

And in the Krasnodar Territory I will also build a railway bridge, and a new railway, and another automobile. There will be a lot of work, as well as financial investments in the region. And in addition to work, the Krasnodar Territory also has an excellent ecology, a wonderful climate, and the sea (albeit not too clean).

5. Belgorod region

The fifth place in the ranking of the best regions of Russia in terms of living standards is occupied by the mistress of green fields and snow-white chalk mountains - the Belgorod region. 70% of its soil is black soil, so it is not surprising that from time immemorial people were engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry.

This year, the Belgorod administration decided to withdraw drugs with growth hormones and various stimulants from circulation when raising animals and poultry, which will make the local animal husbandry environmentally friendly.

True, the residents of Belgorod do not like everything - the region is among the leaders in terms of the number of protests. Most of all residents are concerned about the development of infrastructure and internal improvement.

4. Republic of Tatarstan

Tatarstan is unique to some extent. This is the only region of Russia in the top ten where the majority of the population is not Russian. We can say that Tatarstan is a kind of state within a state that likes to be independent, but not too much.

This is achieved through the skillful maneuvering of the president of the republic, Rustam Minnikhanov, who, on the one hand, has established good connections with the center, and on the other, he knows how to flatter his own people, for example, by introducing compulsory study of the Tatar language at school.

Tatarstan is one of the most economically developed donor regions of Russia, which is explained not only by oil production and developed industrial production, but also by efficient agriculture, as well as an excellent transport position. Tourism also played a role, because Russians love to go to Kazan on excursions.

3. Moscow region

The Moscow region owes its attraction for life, of course, to its neighbor - the capital. This is evidenced by the number of housing under construction in the region. It accounts for 12-14% of all houses coming into operation.

By the way, the results of the Moscow region also confirm the pattern - the more public debt a region has to the Ministry of Finance, the better it is to live in it. The MO borrowed a modest amount of 128.8 billion rubles, which, although inferior to the indicators of the Krasnodar Territory, is significantly higher than all the others. For comparison, the Yaroslavl Region, which is next in the list of debtors, will have to return 37.2 billion rubles to the state treasury someday.

2. St. Petersburg

The northern capital is steadily gaining momentum, and may someday press against the capital of all Russia. Peter lags behind Moscow by some 1.6 points. Agree that in the scale of the rating, where the difference between cities usually goes from 2 to 9 points, this figure is quite insignificant.

The number of internal migrants to St. Petersburg in recent years significantly exceeds the number of migrants to Moscow (11% of "new Muscovites" versus 28% of St. Petersburg "come in large numbers").Peter is famous not only for the abundance of jobs and high salaries, but also for its excellent infrastructure, an abundance of retail outlets, as well as its proximity to abroad. From there, Finland is just a stone's throw away.

1.Moscow

Did anyone have any doubts about which city will take the first place in the ranking of regions in terms of living standards in 2019? Yes, the capital of our Motherland won once again. Although she does not believe in tears, she attracts like a magnet everyone who wants to radically change their lives.

However, Moscow's popularity among internal migrants is slowly declining, in contrast to the popularity of St. Petersburg. On the other hand, Pervoprestolnaya continues to be the largest Russian forge of personnel for the CIS countries and far abroad.

Times are changing, but the prize for the top ten regions of Russia in terms of living standards in 2019 remains almost the same as in the previous ranking. Perhaps there was a slight castling between the eighth and ninth places.

It is more interesting to watch the rest of the rating, which has both bright ups (for example, the Magadan region jumped from 44th to 35th place) and dramatic falls (the indicators of the Udmurt Republic decreased from 36 to 43). And the worst of all is the life of the inhabitants of the Republic of Tyva - as it was at 85, it remained.
