DISPOSABLE INCOME RANKINGS
Top 20 Best Cities for Architects, Except Landscape and Navals
We've ranked the best US cities for architects, except landscape and navals by calculating the Real Disposable Income. Unlike absolute salary rankings, this proprietary metric deducts localized housing costs, regional inflation, and state income taxes to reveal where you will actually keep the most cash at the end of the month.
How We Calculate the Score
Disposable Income = Monthly Take-Home Pay (after federal & state taxes) - Estimated Mortgage (assuming 20% down, current rates on median local home) - Cost of Living Adjusted Standard Expenses.
