Student Loan Hero analyzed several data points from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to help nurses determine whether relocating to a smaller city could be beneficial for paying off debts after graduation.
The data points included average annual wage, location quotient (compares the employment of nurses in a city to the average for the nation) and regional price parity (varying costs of goods and services in cities).
Here are the 10 best small cities for nurses with student debt, according to Student Loan Hero:
