Definitely read this article, and click on the "opportunity map" link. You can filter and see what impact the neighborhood has on earning potential, childhood pregnancy rates, incarceration rates and more. It's fascinating.
All this is based on census data. I feel like we are in a moment where demographics and neighborhoods are changing radically because of COVID and the work-from-home opportunities.
I bet the next ten years we will see radically different communities in many of these regions, especially the warm ones. Miami is seeing 58% increase in rents (https://therealdeal.com/miami/2022/04/14/miami-leads-nation-with-58-rent-spike-during-the-pandemic/ https://therealdeal.com/miami/2022/04/14/miami-leads-nation-...) and what will a bunch of rich tech/finance people do to the kids in those neighborhoods?
I would be very curious to hear from people raised in the south; the opportunity map is not kind to that region. What's wrong about this information?

- M5x7wI3CmbEem10 4y agoWhere do you suppose is ideal for a 20-30 year old tech worker in search of a safe place to find a spouse, avoid harsh winters, and raise kids? Latin America and Scandinavia sound nice, but I don't have the foresight to determine whether those would be good long-term choices. Cultural difficulties, language barriers, immigration crisis, economic solvency, and so on.
