Themed guide
Best cities for remote work
If your paycheck doesn't depend on the local job market, the calculation changes: what matters is whether the internet is good enough to work on and how far the salary you already earn will stretch. Ranked on broadband availability first, then cost of living, then the amenities that make a place worth being in during the day.
No state income tax: Florida, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas, Washington — gross salaries stretch further there.
