Who doesn’t want to work from home. Tired of spending too much time stuck in traffic, or being distracted by the hustle and bustle of the office, or just sick of gossip round the water cooler, for one reason and another working from home is a growing trend.

Walkability Score – How easy is it to get around on foot. Number of gyms per capita – After all you do need some exercise when you are sat in front of a computer all day.

The one area that many people may find surprising, was that it also scored really high for the number of coffee shops per capita. After crunching all the numbers here are the top 10 places: Las Vegas Salt Lake City Louis Pittsburgh […]
