How United States works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In United States, Seattle leads at 54/100 — cost 19, climate 97, safety 66; warmest-month highs around 18.6°C and coldest-month lows near 4.5°C give you a feel for the seasons. Miami is the pure-budget play at cost 20/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for United States before booking anything long-term.
