	The article says that Vancouver ranks as the most expensive city in Canada and one of the most expensive in the world, but the source cited states it is the 109th most expensive in the world. Maybe it is a matter of opinion, I would not expect "one of the most expensive cities in the world" to mean a place not even in the top 100. dacre 20:07, 8 January 2024 (UTC) <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) </small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I think it's still a bit unclear. When looking at it, it's hard to see if the rank refers to the density or if it's on the same level as population. Especially since city population doesn't have a rank but metro does. Maybe we could add it to the end of the population number for the city too? E.g:
