Meanwhile, just two American locations — Los Angeles and New York — made their way onto the list. Notably, both locales have significantly moved up in rank (New York up six places and L.A. up four), proving that the U.S. is growing increasingly expensive. The data also points out certain specificities that contribute to higher expenses in different areas, such as groceries being more expensive in Asia and automotive prices driving up the costs in Tel Aviv.

Landing in fourth on the list is Zurich, Switzerland, while its Swiss neighbor Geneva is tied at fifth with Osaka, Japan. Scroll below to continue reading the full top 10 ranking.
