Unless you think average household income in Wellington is $158K/year (based on average house price $932,867) (it's not, it's $108K according to stats NZ (LINK: https://www.stats.govt.nz/information-releases/household-income-and-housing-cost-statistics-year-ended-june-2020)) I don't know how the figure 5.92 is derived. "In the year ended June 2020, the average annual household equivalised disposable income (before housing costs are deducted) was $48,196." Therefore the effective house price income ratio (average house price / average household income) should be 8.6 - not as ridiculous as Auckland, but certainly not as deceivingly low as 5.92.
Still think Wellington quality of life should be ranked as 4 worldwide on the list? Unless you are loaded.
