24. Oregon
The crown jewel of Oregon is the city of Portland. Known for its quirky, avant-garde culture and home to iconic coffee shops, boutiques, farm-to-table restaurants, art museums, and microbreweries, Portland is the place to be.
But Portland and other popular cities along the coast have seen a 7.5% increase in housing costs in the past year. Shoppers you’ll be thrilled that there is no sales tax. If you relocate on the west coast of Oregon don’t forget to bring an umbrella, raincoat, and boots.
The average precipitation for the year is 200 inches! Unfortunately, there have been extended periods of smoky skies due to the long-lasting forest fires nearby.
