Abstract
This paper uses a hedonic equilibrium model to provide a quality of life based ranking of 13 Canadian cities. The empirical results show that the quality of life based rankings and the variations of the indices are affected by the differences in the distribution of housing characteristics across cities. The results place Calgary at the top of the ranking followed by Vancouver, Edmonton, and Winnipeg. These four cities remain on the top of the ranking in the same order when the housing characteristics are held constant across cities.
