Using metrics based on safety, internet speed, remote work job openings, access to food delivery, and more, Joybird came up with 11 categories. When all the number crunching was done, they came up with the Top 50 cities in the U.S. that are homebody friendly. So where did Tampa rank? Check out the Top 10:
- Raleigh, NC
- Tampa, FL
- Nashville, TN
- Pittsburgh, PA
- Orlando, FL
- Hartford, CT
- St. Louis, MO
- Dallas, TX
- Phoenix, AZ
- Austin, TX
Tampa coming in second place! Here's what Joybird said were the reasons for Tampa's strong ranking:
"Like Raleigh, Tampa is better than average in eight of the 11 categories, but it truly excelled in several of those eight. For starters, Tampa has almost twice as many homes with access to a pool than average, which does make sense for a major Florida city, but it also cuts the average crime rate in half, has houses that are about 33% bigger than average, and has close to 70% more food-delivering restaurants than average."
Other Florida cities in the Top 50 were Orlando #5, Jacksonville #37, and Miami at #40. You can check out the entire survey here.
Maybe the city of Tampa should use their #2 ranking in this survey to welcome all homebodies!

13 things Floridians are thankful for, a list.
There are many perks to living in Florida. We have great weather, lots of things to do, we don't have to shovel snow in the winter and lots of interesting people.
In fact, according to the most updated U.S. Census data released in December 2021, the sunshine state has more new residents than any other state besides Texas. This is ever more evident than ever in our traffic congestion and real estate market.
220,890 new residents moved to Florida between July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2021. This means that Florida is still the third most populated state in the nation behind California and Texas, respectively.
So it seems many of the people who have vacationed here are making a decision to just stay in Florida. Can you blame them?
