about the national average

Flagstaff area index 100.3, where 100 is the national average.

Flagstaff sits at 7,000 feet in the world's largest ponderosa pine forest, offering four distinct seasons and a laid-back mountain-town culture. The historic Route 66 downtown and proximity to the San Francisco Peaks give nurses an outdoor-focused lifestyle uncommon in Arizona — think snowy winters, trail-rich weekends, and a tight-knit community feel.
