Methodology: For this study, GOBankingRates analyzed each state’s cost-of-living indexes as sourced from the Missouri Economic and Research Information Center for each quarter from Q1 2021 to Q1 2024. Using the cost-of-living indexes, the average expenditure monthly cost can be calculated by using the national average expenditure costs for different groups of people, including all residents, retired residents, married couples with kids, single residents, and residents born between 1981-1997, as sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey. The difference in average costs and overall indexes were recorded and sorted to find the cost of living in every state since Biden took over. All data was collected on and is up to date as of July 19th, 2024.
