Most and Least Expensive Cities

Candidates (and employers) should look at the cost of living when deciding where to relocate. Just to stay even, candidates who choose to reside in an expensive city will need to earn far more money than those who choose to live in an inexpensive city. So everything else being equal, it makes the most sense to live in cities with low costs of living. Where does your city rank?

The five least expensive cities in which to live are:


  1. Fort Smith, AR
  2. Fort Wayne, IN
  3. Binghamton, NY
  4. South Bend, IN
  5. Huntington, WV

The five most expensive cities in which to live are:

  1. New York, NY
  2. Santa Ana, CA
  3. San Jose, CA
  4. Santa Cruz, CA
  5. San Francisco, CA
