Best Cities for Remote Workers in West Virginia

West Virginia ranks #39 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, West Virginia's cost-of-living index of 90 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 6.9% suggests that remote work is still emerging — coworking options and community may be thinner. At 74.3% broadband coverage, connectivity could be a limiting factor outside major metros.

Taxes are moderate at 8.85% of income — not a major draw but not a dealbreaker. Housing affordability (score: 87/100) is a clear advantage — the median home costs $249,000, a manageable ratio for most remote salaries.
