The biggest hotspot for remote workers is right here in North Texas!
A new study from Wave Connect, a digital business card company, found Frisco is the No. 1 city in the nation for remote workers, scoring a nearly perfect 99 out of 100 in the study.
Two other North Texas suburbs made the top ten: Allen at No. 3 and Plano at No. 6.
According to CultureMap Dallas, Wave Connect analyzed the 40 U.S. cities with the largest remote worker populations and evaluated them on eight factors: share of remote workers, median pay, cost of living index, yearly rent, dining costs, internet cost and speed, coworking availability, and safety index.
George El-Hage, founder and CEO of Wave Connect, said of the study, “The data reveals that smaller cities can actually offer better value to remote workers. For example, remote professionals in Frisco and Allen can combine six-figure salaries with housing costs under $25,000 annually, creating wealth-building opportunities that may not exist in expensive coastal markets.
“If the shift to remote work continues, we might see traditional tech hubs losing residents to these more affordable destinations that offer both digital infrastructure and financial freedom.”
The top ten cities in the nation for remote workers include:
1 – Frisco
2 – Cary, North Carolina
3 – Allen
4 – Bellevue, Washington
5 – Arlington, Virginia
6 – Plano
7 – Naperville, Illinois
8 – Highlands Ranch, Colorado
9 – Alexandria, Virginia
10 – Santa Clara, California
