Top 100 Best Cities to Work Remote in 2022

In 2022 an estimated 14-23 million U.S. households intend to move[1] - an emerging migration pattern resulting from the growing acceptance of remote work amid the pandemic. It’s no surprise, remote work has fundamentally changed how we live, but now remote work is changing where we live. Instead of relying on our jobs to determine where we live, we now have the freedom to live where we want.

A recent report by UpWork, the world's largest work marketplace, revealed that between 6.9% to 11.5% of U.S. households intend to move in many cases out of major cities and into less expensive housing markets.

When determining the best cities to work remotely in 2022, Dwellics analyzed over 50,000 U.S. cities to compile a list of the Top 100: The Best Cities to Work Remote in 2022. Among the ranking factors included areas with the highest internet speeds, best climate comfort (temperature and humidity), human safety (natural disaster risks, crime, water quality, cancer rates), infrastructure (outdoor activities, distance to nearest airport, government spending, housing cost stability), and finances (property taxes, income taxes, cost of living index, and housing costs).
