How United States works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In United States, Salem leads at 68/100 — cost 49, climate 96, safety 67; warmest-month highs around 19.2°C and coldest-month lows near 4.3°C give you a feel for the seasons. Las Vegas is the pure-budget play at cost 55/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for United States before booking anything long-term.
