Among the 120 largest places in Texas, Frisco has the largest share of people working from home (37.8%), followed by Celina and Prosper. Click any column to sort; click a city for its guide.
Across the 120 places in Texas that we cover, the median is 12.4% and the average 14.5%; the figure runs from 37.8% (Frisco) to 1.0% (Port Arthur). That is a spread of 36.7 times between the two ends. The state figure is 14.4%; 48 of the 120 places are above it and 72 at or below.
The first five are Frisco, Celina, Prosper, Coppell, Austin. A high or low position is not good or bad on its own: remote work lets people live in cheaper places while earning city pay, but it depends on the employer. Use the Compare tab on each city page to see how two places differ across income, rent, commute and education, and check the county page for the local job market.
