The data set contains the 2019 cost of living indices of 50 states in five different categories: grocery, housing, transportation, utilities, and miscellaneous (Washington DC is not included). The indices are calculated by first determining the average cost of living in the United States to be used as a baseline set at 100. States are then measured against this baseline. For example, a state with a cost of living index of 200 is twice as expensive as the national average.
