13 Florida cities listed on America’s Best Cities to Work Remote in 2022

Dwellics, the authority in U.S. City Data and personalized advice on where to move, unveiled a new report that highlights the best cities for remote work in 2022.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the popularity of remote work has grown tremendously in the United States and around the world. The report, Top 100: Best Cities to Work Remote in 2022, analyzes data on over 50,000 U.S. cities, focusing on the work necessity of high internet speeds, climate comfort, human safety (natural disaster risks, crime, water quality, cancer rates), infrastructure, and finance, including the cost of housing and income tax.

While Texas took the top honor on the list, scoring seven of the top twenty positions and seventeen of the top fifty, Florida also landed thirteen cities on the list. Gainesville ranked highest on the list at No.5, followed by Alafaya (#11), East Leon (#26), Orlando (#33), Winter Garden (#43), Panama City Beach (#44), Tallahassee (#45), Winter Springs (#47), University (#49), Winter Park (#50), Jacksonville Beach (#51), Nocatee (#52), and Northeast Leon (#53).

Arizona also ranks high on the list of states with the best cities to work remotely, with ten communities on the list, respectively.

Texas and Florida do not have a state income tax for individuals. While Arizona does, some regard it as being among the most tax-friendly states, which could partly explain why these three states represent forty percent of the communities in the report.

Surprisingly, California barely makes an appearance on the list. The technology hub of the Silicon Valley, made up of more than 40 cities and municipalities, is represented only by Davis, suggesting that the notoriously high cost of housing in the area could be another factor driving remote workers to other areas of the country. In addition, a recent rise in smash and grab crimes and other violence in the state could be another additional factor contributing to current migration trends.
