Dang, I wish I had the results, but a friend of mine wrote some code to pull in data from several different sources on all of the cities in the world. He's a remote worker, single, and can live anywhere in the world. He compared all kinds of things including cost of living, weather, crime rate, internet speed, and a bunch of other variables.
He moved to Panama City, Panama.

- jtheory 14y agoSometimes your family & friends are already spread all over the globe, and you can't live near more than one or two of them at best. Sometimes the city you're living in is a haunted place for you already -- after a severe personal loss, attack, stalker, etc.. Sometimes you suddenly find yourself with few close connections where you currently live (prime example: finishing grad school), and you have the opportunity to stretch your boundaries by not simply moving back to your hometown (or even home country). Or you may just have "itchy feet" syndrome, and you start getting pretty unpleasant to be around if you're stuck in one town for more than a few years, seeing the same people around. I'm married and we have two kids; each of us was born in a different country. I didn't leave the US initially for lack of people who liked my wife & I; to the contrary, the support of our friends was quite necessary because it was not always easy, initially. But it gets easier; and making human connections in a few disparate environments is enlightening, to say the least.
