Guides
Relocation guides, built from real numbers
A focused set of in-depth guides — not a mass-produced sweep — each with original analysis, data tables, internal links, and a clear methodology.
What these guides cover
CityMove's guides turn the same data behind the city reports and calculators into plain-language reading for the moving decision. Each guide is built around a specific question — what it's like to live in one city, how two cities stack up, what a salary needs to cover in a given place, what moving between two locations costs, or how a city's lifestyle fits a particular life stage — and answers it with the site's own figures rather than generic boilerplate.
They are organized into six categories below: city guides, city comparisons, best-places lists, salary guides, moving guides, and city lifestyle guides. Browse the category that matches where you are in the process, or open a guide directly from a city profile when one applies to that city.
How to use them
- Start with a city guide to understand a place before you shortlist it.
- Use comparison guides once you've narrowed to two or three finalists.
- Check salary and moving guides when you're ready to cost the decision.
- Every guide links back to the live tools so you can run your own numbers.
