The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has released the Better Life Index. It ranks the quality of life in OECD countries based on 11 categories of metrics -- housing (including data on "rooms per person," "dwellings with basic facilities," and "housing expenditure"); environment ("air pollution" and "water quality"); and work-life balance ("employees working very long hours" and "time devoted to leisure and personal care"), among others.
You can weight the metrics to get a personal ranking of countries that fit your preferences. Mine are all really cold-ass countries, apparently (Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Canada, etc...)
