PERTH is now Australia’s most expensive city and the eleventh priciest to live in worldwide, according a renowned online cost of living index.
Numbeo, a website that claims to collate the world’s largest database of user-contributed data about cities and countries worldwide, now rates the West Australian capital more expensive than Darwin, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne for consumer goods, including groceries, restaurants, transportation and utilities.
And the list also christens Perth as the second most expensive city in the southern hemisphere behind Luanda in Angola, with the rest of the top ten taken up by cities in Switzerland and Norway – with Stavanger classed as the most expensive place to live in the world.
The Numbeo index, which is updated weekly, is based on a worldwide comparison of prices compared to those in New York City – with Perth rating 121.99, meaning on their analysis the city is 21.99 per cent more expensive than Mew York.
Almost to prove the point, it was revealed petrol in Perth is set to rise 16 cents per litre on Thursday to a five-year high average of 156.3 cents per litre.
