Score Breakdown
Our Take
Cupertino offers top‑rated schools, a strong tech job market and low flood risk, but it comes with a very high cost of living and limited walkability. It’s an excellent place for families and professionals who can afford the price, but the pricey homes and sparse public transit are trade‑offs to consider.
