This map tracks population, education, business and lifestyle factors across the country, using colors to indicate the magnitude and concentration of each factor. As a "heat map," the brighter red the color, the better the region's score. To select categories, use the pull down menu above Montana and North Dakota. The data key refreshes for each category and appears south of Mexico. Data provided by ZoomProspector.com, a San Francisco-based consulting firm specializing in corporate relocation. It evaluated areas of the country with fewer than 100,000 people. Due to differing regional definitions, we used the label "town" for any city, township, borough or Census-designated place with such populations.
