Cities Best-positioned for Pandemic Recovery

A recent report from Moody’s Analytics highlighted the cities that are in the best and worst positions to recover from the coronavirus pandemic. Adam Kamins, a senior regional economist at Moody’s Analytics, found the “most dynamic recoveries” won’t be in urban powerhouses like New York City, but instead in “areas that either were or were poised to lead the way in 2020 before everything changed.”
The 10 best-positioned cities are (alphabetically): Boise, ID; Denver; Durham, NC; Madison, WI; Provo, UT; Raleigh, NC; Salt Lake City; San Jose, CA; Tucson, AZ; and Washington, DC, according to reporting from Forbes.
The 10 cities worst-situated to recover from the coronavirus are (alphabetically): Detroit; Honolulu; Los Angeles; McAllen, TX; Miami; New Haven, CT; New York City; Philadelphia; Stockton, CA; and Tampa, FL.
