According to the survey the ratings of the top 5 cities are as follows:
1. Trivandrum - Score 2.90
A strong showing in leisure facilities, education, social infrastructure and job opportunities gave it the top slot, but traffic chaos and parking problems pinch

2. Kozhikode - score 2.77
A consistently good showing is capped by top billing in open spaces and sports culture. Commuting and water however remain problem areas

3. Kochi - score 2.68
Clearly the best when it comes to job opportunities and good showing on cosmopolitanism and leisure facilities, but typical big city woes like traffic and costs.

4. Thrissur - score 2.42
Rates very high on civic sense and cleanliness and is also a less expensive city rather than most, but does really poorly in terms of offering job prospects.

5. Kottayam - score 2.33
Top of the bunch in educational facilities and is also one of the more women friendly cities, but lags on several counts to finish at the bottom.
