If you were an international student seeking for colleges or work opportunities in the United States, what would be your possible choice? As two major cities in the western and eastern coast of the US, Seattle and Boston both have unique educational resources, fast-growing economies, and technologies. So, what does the recent research data says about the two cities?
According to Data USA, in 2018, Seattle and Boston have a similar population. Seattle has a population of 744,949, and the population in Boston is 695,926. The two cities also have a similar median age of 35.2 and 32.1, respectively. However, there are some major differences between the two in terms of income and employment. The number of employees in Seattle is 451,954 with a 3.77% growth rate, while Boston has 382,784 employees with a 0.31% growth rate. The median household income of Seattle ($93,481) is higher than that in Boston ($71,834), despite the fact they both have a growth rate of 7.6%. However, the growth rate of annual median property value in Seattle is twice as much as that in Boston. Another interesting finding is that in Seattle, there were 4.07 times more White Alone residents in 2018 than any other race or ethnicity, while the rate in Boston was 1.99 times. The data shows the diversity of race is distributed more evenly in Boston. For residents who live in Seattle, the most common industry is Professional, Scientific and Technical Services. The highest paid jobs are related to legal Occupations, Computer & Mathematical Occupations, and Computer, Engineering & Science. In comparison, the most common industry in Boston is Health Care & Social Assistance. The highest paid jobs are related to Law Enforcement, legal Occupations, and Management.
