Our Mission
Moving to a new city is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. We believe everyone deserves access to clear, accurate, data-driven information to make that decision confidently.
Data Sources
We use only official, verified data sources:
- US Census Bureau — Demographics, income, housing
- Bureau of Labor Statistics — Cost of living, wages
- Zillow Research — Home values, rents
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — Climate data
- Federal Communications Commission — Internet availability
- Tax Foundation — State and local tax rates
Methodology
Our cost of living indices are calculated using the Council for Community and Economic Research (C2ER) methodology. Our custom scores (Affordability, Remote Work, Livability) combine multiple data points into easy-to-understand metrics.
