Best Cities for Remote Workers in Mississippi

Mississippi ranks #45 out of 50 for remote workers — a state where remote workers may face some headwinds. Remote work fundamentally changes the relocation calculus: when your salary comes from elsewhere, what matters is how far it stretches locally and how good daily life feels. On that front, Mississippi's cost-of-living index of 87 is well below the national average — a remote worker earning a coastal salary here gains significant purchasing power.

The relatively low work-from-home rate of 4.5% suggests that remote work is still emerging — coworking options and community may be thinner. Broadband reaches 82.4% of households — solid in metro areas, though rural spots may have gaps.

Taxes are moderate at 9.06% of income — not a major draw but not a dealbreaker. Housing affordability (score: 94/100) is a clear advantage — the median home costs $253,000, a manageable ratio for most remote salaries.
