Have you visited those cities? I had a job offer in Houston about 8.5 years ago. I went to check it out and it wasn't for me.
I agree with going to the area that offers you the best chance at happiness and fulfillment on your own. Meeting a guy will be a plus. I moved from the DC area where I had no luck in dating for YEARS to a smaller city with a scant dating scene a few years ago, and wound up married. And I was/am in my 40s. You never know what will happen. I chose to live where I thought I'd be happy.
finding someone to date is not the issue. I am highly educated and highly paid...so I'd like someone as educated and who makes close to or more than me.
Boise has the highest median income, so that's probably going to be your best bet finding someone that has a higher income. Houston's median income is only about $1K below Boise and I would imagine there are more millionaires in Houston though.
Personally I would get a job and live where I wanted, not where there's a dating scene. You can meet the man if your dreams in the most obscure places.
But I'm not putting my security in a guy's hands...
I'm still going to making 6 figures...just a few thousand less if I move to a city vs living in a smaller place. And working more, which would suck...
Ugh IDK! lol
Then what's the problem? Why are you asking? Is there some other issue? Because if it came down to it, a job is pretty much the most important thing unless the location is just a total dump with no habitable living space. Based on the job you pick your house/apt. based on whatever commute is acceptable...THEN you start putting together a social life. And it can be hard to judge how things will be socially until you are actually there. So, more reasons why social/dating are a much lesser concern than your livelihood.
I would never base a job choice on the "dating scene."

This. In addition to this, if you really like the city and feel at home there, I would say that your chances of finding someone compatible are better there than somewhere that has more people but where you don't fit in.

The people that usually do this are those that have made finding love a priority.
Most singles actively looking know fully well that geographic location plays a huge part in dating options.
I met 10 times as many single women the 4 years I spent in New York than I did the 20+ I spent in Tennessee.
For some it makes sense.
