US city rankings for digital nomads
Every ranking on this site, one measure each, with the current leader. Open a ranking for all 14 cities and the source behind each number.
Each ranking uses one published measure instead of a blended score, so you can see exactly why a city sits where it does: HUD rents, the EPA walkability index, Census car ownership, PeopleForBikes network scores, Inside Airbnb medians, FCC broadband filings, NOAA climate normals and EPA air-quality counts. Cities with no figure for a measure are left out of that ranking instead of being estimated. For quotable one-liners drawn from all of them, see the statistics page.
