Baghdad tops Mercer list as worst city in world to live

While Vienna continues to be the best place in the world to live, Baghdad holds onto its title as the worst.

Political turmoil, poor security enforcement and constant terrorist attacks have kept Baghdad at the bottom of Mercer's 2011 Quality of Living rankings for the last six years.

Coming in just ahead of Baghdad on the 221-country list are Bangui, Central African Republic (220), N'Djamena, Chad (219), Port-au-Prince, Haiti (218) and Khartoum, Sudan (217).

"Most of the low-scoring cities are in countries with civil unrest, high crime levels and little law enforcement," says Senior Researcher Slagin Parakatil on a YouTube video description.
