The list on record

This page shows the 6 entries on record of 1000 published. Ranks 1 to 5 and Sydney #7 from Oxford Economics' 2025 article. Wikipedia lists #6 to #10 as Melbourne, Sydney, Boston, Tokyo, San Francisco, but a summary of the publisher's article placed Boston at #10, so ranks 6, 8, 9 and 10 are left out pending verification. See the original list.
