Changing living costs key for remote worker migration

Nashville has reclaimed top spot in our ranking of the attractiveness to remote workers of 52 US metros. Its continued dominance owes much to its relatively low cost of living, a factor that has underpinned the supremacy of the South in our analysis. There are divergences within the region, however, with rising costs undermining the attractiveness of Miami, which is now ranked 51st of 52 metros. We expect the cost of living to remain key to remote worker migration patterns, with cities that have seen a ramp up in their relative cost of living, often due to insufficient residential development, losing out.
