I can't vouch for the accuracy: Groceries Prices in Sweden are 11.12% lower than in United States

Apartment rent is less.

I can. That's all not true. We stayed there for a few weeks in 2013. We had a house, planned to buy our own groceries. They were MUCH more expensive than in the US and had much less of a selection, even in July. This was for stores in the city and the suburbs.

And rent was also not less, at least not compared to Seattle.

Not really, not Stockholm and the southern part of the country at least. Maybe farther north.

Obesity is on the rise there. It was a noticeable difference between 2007 and 2013.
