Methodology
Scores are editorial comparison aids, not government ratings. Mobility considers the existence and clarity of a remote-work route; connectivity and affordability are relative editorial assessments intended to guide deeper research. Personal safety, accessibility, healthcare, tax and family needs must be assessed separately.
