If you're already an American, move to St. Louis.

- North enough that climate change will not affect it as much

- Inland so not at risk of sea level change

- Next to a large fresh water source

- Food security - weather suitable for all kinds of crops, even as temps rise

- A large enough group of people in a rich country that it will still be able to get resources as things get worse

- Because of the city/county split, the city crime rate is arbitrarily high despite being a safer metro than most. Means that housing prices are low. Places like Chicago are more at risk of becoming unaffordable as refugees crises get worse

- The region is one of the few that has been continuously settled from pre-colonial days, indicating some Lindy effect in play
