Cost of living in 387 US metros

Each page answers what it costs to live there with leftover after tax and rent, a rent table, and the same household as the city paycheck page. It is not a cost-of-living index and not a second copy of the city next door.

The leftover figure is one adult, one bedroom, local pay, starting from Chicago. Open the city, change the job or switch pay to remote, and the number is a different metro. Hand-reviewed metros say so. The rest are labelled modelled. Why leftover is not an index.
