About the Move Score
The Move Score is calculated using a proprietary algorithm that evaluates multiple factors including housing affordability, cost of living, job market strength, quality of life indicators, education, healthcare access, and community amenities. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a more favorable destination. This tool is designed to help you make data-driven decisions about your relocation.

Job Market: Evaluates employment opportunities, job growth projections, and average salary levels in the area.
