In recent months, a number of companies have made long-term commitments to the WFH model. No longer tethered to a specific location, telecommuters are able to Zoom and collaborate from virtually anywhere on Earth. On Wednesday, Yelp and Zillow released a “digital nomad index” ranking the top U.S. cities for remote workers seeking adventure and affordability with nomadic lifestyle services to boot.

“It is clear that this past year has caused many to reconsider their housing needs and wants—and sometimes that means not wanting to be tied to one spot for too long,” said Zillow economic data analyst Nicole Bachaud.

“Amenity-rich places with a lot of affordable rental units with shorter leasing terms are appealing to many people who no longer have to punch in at the office,” Bachaud continued.

Overall, the rankings take into account housing availability, affordability and flexibility as well as attractive “community amenities” for people with a “newfound flexibility to explore the country as they work remotely,” the release said.

Yelp’s trend expert, Tara Lewis, elaborated on these index metrics, stating that these cities are “great for digital nomads,” offering “highly rated” businesses such as co-working spaces and furniture rental as well as adventure-focused offerings like hikes, recreational vehicle repairs, paddleboarding and more.

“These destinations boast a mix of outdoor adventure and city perks that are appealing to the many young professionals who have transitioned to the nomadic lifestyle due to their new-found ability to work from anywhere,” Lewis said.
