Senegal’s capital Dakar has been ranked as the most expensive city to live in in Africa according to the living index data released by Statista for the half-year ended June 2022.

According to the data, the West African city has a cost of living index score of 50.87, followed by Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with a cost of living index score of 50.49.

The cost of living index entails how much it would cost you to live in one city compared to others. It considers consumer goods prices, rent costs, cost of healthcare and others.

“The cost of living is the amount of money needed to cover basic expenses such as housing, food, taxes, and healthcare in a certain place and period. The cost of living is often used to compare how expensive it is to live in one city versus another. The cost of living is tied to wages. If expenses are higher in a city, such as New York, for example, salary levels must be higher so that people can afford to live in that city,” Statista says.
