According to Coworking Cafe,
For this study, we looked at 298 cities across the country with populations under 250,000 and complete, reliable data. We evaluated, using a 100-points scale, what genuinely drives opportunity and everyday livability in smaller cities by looking at a broad set of economic, workforce and quality-of-life factors. These included income and affordability metrics, as well as labor market and remote work trends. As for livability, we assessed healthcare access, education levels and commute times, etc.
