💻High Remote Work (>25%)

Show only towns where more than 25% of workers work from home. Ideal for remote workers seeking communities with established WFH culture.

🚗Short Commute (<25 minutes)

Show only towns with median commute time under 25 minutes. Reduces daily travel burden and improves work-life balance.

💰Low Rental Cost Burden (<40%)

Show only towns where less than 40% of renters pay more than 30% of income on rent. Indicates more affordable rental market.

📶High Broadband Access (>95%)
