Here are the top 10 cities for summer staycations - CNBC

Canceled that flight to Cancun or that cruise out of Miami to the Caribbean?

You're not alone. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic and worries over health and safety, many Americans will opt to "staycation" this year and holiday at home or nearby.

"We're seeing a trend overall [that] people are booking trips closer to home, maybe going to a beach house a couple of hours away," Cheryl Golden, director of e-commerce at InsureMyTrip.com, recently told CNBC. "Then, when people get more comfortable, they'll continue to go farther and farther away from home, starting with domestic [destinations]."

Looking to track which cities across the U.S. offered the best conditions for those close-in summer vacations, personal finance website WalletHub compiled a new 2020's Best & Worst Cities for Staycations report.

The site compared more than 180 American cities across 15 key metrics measuring what it called "a fun-filled yet wallet-friendly staycation." Indicators measured  ranged from number of parks per capita to average home square-footage and type of weather in the summer.
