Themed guide
Where to move to stay ahead of climate risk
Ranked by today's natural-hazard exposure together with how hot the city is projected to get by around 2050 — the two questions a 30-year mortgage actually turns on. These are projections, not forecasts, and they carry real uncertainty; treat them as a way to compare cities against each other rather than as predictions about any one of them.
No state income tax: Alaska, Washington — gross salaries stretch further there.
