Frequently Asked Questions

Digital nomad popularity is based on aggregated user data, search interest, relocation trends, and engagement metrics across cities. Rankings reflect where remote professionals most frequently choose to live and work, combined with comparative indicators such as Cost of Living Index and regional demand.

Not necessarily. A higher ranking means more digital nomads choose that city, but the "best" destination depends on your budget, lifestyle preferences, visa options, climate, infrastructure, and time zone. Popular cities often offer strong communities, coworking spaces, reliable internet, and good quality of life – but may also have higher living costs.

You can use the sortable table and interactive map to compare cities by popularity, region, and Cost of Living Index. Start by filtering by continent or budget range, then compare living costs and overall ranking to find destinations that match your remote work lifestyle and financial goals.
