9. Lyon, France — 11.099 points
France staunchly avoids collecting ethnicity and religion data on its citizens, but 14% of Lyon’s residents were born outside of France, higher than France’s average of about 90%. Lyon’s nickname of the Capital of Lights has a many-layered meaning. The Lumière brothers lived and worked in Lyon and invented an early film recorder and player. Their last name means “Light” in French, the same as the ladykiller candelabrum in the French-set Disney classic Beauty and the Beast. Lyon holds a Fête des Lumières (Festival of Lights) each year. It was also the birthplace of two ancient Roman emperors, one of whom is often credited as claiming Britain for Rome.
