Over at Climate Alpha, we’ve compiled a ranking and special report on the best places to invest in a future of remote work:
Remote work may be here to stay, but not all “Zoomtowns” are created equal. Many of the pandemic’s most popular refuges have since suffered from housing unaffordability, climate disasters, or both.
Which cities possess the right combination of resilience, quality of life, plentiful housing, and accessibility to a major metro (and points beyond)?
Using Climate Alpha’s proprietary Resilience Index™ scores and forecasting tools, we’ve identified five communities across the U.S. poised to reap the long-term benefits of a remote future, ranging from cities such as Portland, Oregon and Colorado Springs to greener pastures in Michigan, Virginia, and Kentucky.
