When evaluating a potential city to invest in, I would consider areas that see population growth, employment growth, employment diversification (not reliant on one particular industry) and rent growth.

@David Weymouth I think the AZ market has a lot of info term potential, especially with the job growth and population growth.

The main routes of travel are also littered with explosive mines.How will enemy entities impact population control, governance, and critical infrastructure?

find a property that you are interested in, put the address on zillow, and then go to the "rent" tab and it should populate what houses are for rent around that area.

In less populous areas, you have to rely on things like the county real estate tax collector's website.

As I have no specific affiliation to any town or region, I'm looking for strong macro-economic stats that make the area "interesting", such as income, population growth, vacancy rates etc... 

Smaller towns hold the most appeal for living but more populated areas are where good investments are found so it has to be in a reasonable driving distance from a somewhat larger city. 

As a result, the construction of new homes did not keep pace with population growth.
