The cost of living nationwide has been skyrocketing lately, but which American cities are the most expensive to live in? We turned to the Council for Community and Economic Research, which releases quarterly cost-of-living indexes among 263 urban areas. (The index compares against the national average, which is represented by 100.) Factors taken into account included a city’s median income and local costs for food, taxes, housing, and healthcare. It’s no surprise that all of these cities are pretty desirable places in which to live, full of job opportunities, history, nature, nightlife, and arts and culture — but all those attributes don’t come cheap. Here are the 10 most expensive places to live in the U.S. to live in, as of late 2021.
