Abstract: Urban areas have always been an attraction for the population. As a result, urbanization is constantly happening as more people migrate to cities. This is since urban areas have become a hope for improving the quality of life. This study aims to measure and analyze the Quality of Life (QoL) Index and the influence of economic and geographical factors on the urban QoL during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data used in this study is the Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) in 2020 from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency. The findings show that larger cities tend to have a good QoL index. Meanwhile, remote cities or island regions have a low QoL, as indicated by a low QoL Index. population density, per capita consumption expenditure, and urban economic growth positively influence the urban QoL.
