Whether freelancing or working for the government, a boutique agency or a large technology company, web developers are in high demand across the country.

In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment for web developers to grow 27 percent between 2014 and 2024. That is much faster than the projected average 7 percent growth for all occupations during that time.

So where should web developers establish their domain to get the most out of this exploding career field?

SpareFoot teamed up with Indeed, the world’s largest job site by users, to find the ten metro areas with the most job listings for web developers. Indeed also provided us with the average salary data for web developers in those markets.

We then ranked those cities by the following factors: job availability, average annual salary, median home price and median annual rent. Finally, we combined the rankings (giving double weight to job availability) to determine an overall ranking.
