Taken from this month’s Regional Snapshot, this map explores cost-of-living across the largest metropolitan areas in the United States. Red and green dots mark the cities with a lower cost- of-living index while blues indicate the highest. As you might have guessed, New York has the highest Cost of Living Index of 227.4- more than double than the average metro value of 100. Atlanta’s is 99.9, meaning that Atlanta’s cost-of-living is essentially no higher or lower than that of the average metropolitan area.
