Best Cities for Remote Workers in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania ranks #36 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. Pennsylvania's cost of living (index: 98) is near the national average, so a remote salary doesn't gain or lose much purchasing power here.

The moderate work-from-home rate of 11.8% suggests growing but not yet dominant remote work adoption. Broadband coverage is excellent at 94.3%, so reliable internet shouldn't be a concern.

Taxes are moderate at 8.58% of income — not a major draw but not a dealbreaker. Housing affordability (score: 69/100) is a clear advantage — the median home costs $283,000, putting homeownership well within reach.
