<div>I was curious how we ranked in cost of living for 2012,
but I couldn't (quickly) find a good ranking. I did find
this article in the Statesman: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.idahostatesman.com/2014/04/28/3158112/idaho-cost-of-living-creeps-toward.html">http://www.idahostatesman.com/2014/04/28/3158112/idaho-cost-of-living-creeps-toward.html</a>.
If I'm reading that right, we are 31st in cost of living,
which I think means that we are the 20th lowest in cost of
living, if you want to look at it that way. They are not
very clear in the article.<br>

Frankly, a financial article with the byline Idaho Statesman Staff
is less than completely awe-inspiring, especially when it fails to
mention its data sources.<br>
<br>
If you are concerned with practical cost-of-living comparisons, I
suggest that you check out the website Sperling's Best Places at <a

href="http://www.bestplaces.net/city/idaho/moscow">http://www.bestplaces.net/city/idaho/moscow</a>

<br>
Use their Compare functions to gain more insight about differences
between various location pairs.<br>

Here is some Idaho state comparative data from the same source:
