Relative indices
Cost of Living and Rent are relative Numbeo indices. New York City = 100, so a lower number points to a cheaper city.
Monthly amounts
Dollar values are estimates of real monthly costs, not part of a relative index.
Leading city marker
The ✓ marks the leading value in each row. If there is a tie, multiple cities are marked.
