I think this is purely a livability survey and they tried to take opinion out of this survey as much as possible and measure things by objective factors like: stability, healthcare, culture, environment, education and infrastructure. So that might be things like water quality, air quality, safety, #riots, traffic congestion, etc.

NYC and Tokyo would get rated to hell on those metrics given the population density and it's probably why they aren't high on the list.
