Applying for Jobs in Other US Cities?

I currently live in the DC area and have a background in politics/public affairs but I am unhappy in my current industry for a variety of reasons.

I am trying to transition over towards working in energy as I have some background in that combined with a masters degree from a top target school. However, when I apply for jobs to cities like NYC, Houston etc. However, I rarely if ever hear anything back.

Does this have anything to do with the fact that I am not in the area? Even though, I haven't been listing my address on my Resume I am still facing the same issue.

I was wondering how do I go about breaking into another city?
