Methodology
Our cost of living calculator is powered by data from the Council for Community and Economic Research (C2ER), a trusted nonprofit organization that collects and compares prices across hundreds of U.S. cities. The C2ER Cost of Living Index measures everyday expenses like housing, groceries, transportation, utilities, healthcare, and other common goods and services, so you can see how costs stack up in different places.
Each city’s score is benchmarked against a national average of 100, which makes comparisons easy. For example, a score of 110 would indicate costs about 10% higher than the national average.
We update our calculator twice a year to reflect the latest C2ER data. While these numbers represent citywide averages, it’s important to keep in mind that your actual expenses may vary depending on your lifestyle and the neighborhood you choose.
