Cost of Living Index

The study is based on Numbeo results, in which I attempt to chart the Cost of Living based on four parameters: rent, grocery, restaurant, and local purchasing power.

Key assumptions of the data are New York City has been considered as a relative parameter for comparison. So New York was considered as 100 and if any city has 120 index that means the city is 20% more expensive than New York City.

Here are the key observations:

• Rent: The United States has the top 5 expensive rental cities
• Groceries: Switzerland is the most expensive for groceries
• Restaurant: Switzerland is also expensive in terms of restaurant
• Local Purchasing Power: United States cities have more purchasing power
