For those souls who can work from anywhere they can pull in a WiFi signal, not every city is created equal for the remote worker. (Also, put some pants on). CoworkingCafe rated US cities with a population of at least 200,000 across four main metrics: Economy (cost of living, average rent, coworking prices, share of remote workers, etc.); connectivity (fiber coverage, public WiFi density); infrastructure (walkability, availability of entertainment, number of nearby airports). Without ado, the top 10 cities and their overall score:

  1. Atlanta, Georgia, 70.35
  2. Frisco, Texas, 66.39
  3. Boulder, Colorado, 66.25
  4. Cary, North Carolina, 63.97
  5. Sugar Land, Texas, 62.37
  6. Carmel, Indiana, 61.82
  7. Fishers, Indiana, 61.78
  8. Berkeley, California, 61.38
  9. Alexandria, Virginia, 61.27
  10. Denver, Colorado, 59.60
(The cities with the fastest rising salaries for young workers.)
