Project Overview
This interactive tool allows you to look up and compare the prices of 31 goods and services across 30 different U.S. cities. These cities are the top 30 in the economy, measured by their gross domestic product (GDP).
The tool provides two ways to compare the cost of living in different cities. While the overall Cost of Living Index offers a quick, aggregated city comparison, the tool's primary focus is on the prices of specific goods and services. This feature allows you to compare items most relevant to your lifestyle, offering a personalized insight into the cost differences between cities.
