By Cities Online editors · Updated Oct 18, 2026 · Our data

Redmond, WA, Somerville, MA and Seattle, WA top the list for young professionals: highly educated workforces, high household incomes, younger populations, growth, transit or walkable commutes and many remote workers. Rent takes a share of income into account, which is why some expensive cities still rank well: local pay keeps up.

How the score works

Every city gets a score out of 100. For each measure we rank all 546 cities from worst to best (a percentile), then combine the measures with these weights: bachelor's degrees (20%), household income (20%), younger median age (15%), population growth (15%), transit and walking (10%), remote workers (10%), rent vs income (10%). All measures come from the Census Bureau, BEA, NOAA and the Tax Foundation; there are no opinions or paid placements in the score. We leave out crime and school quality because comparable official data for every city does not exist. Data checked October 18, 2026.
