About the Index The Council for Community and Economic Research, C2ER, produces the Cost of Living Index to provide a useful and reasonably accurate measure of living cost differences among urban areas. Items on which the Index is based have been carefully chosen to reflect the different categories of consumer expenditures. Weights assigned to relative costs are based on government survey data on expenditure patterns for professional and executive households. All items are priced in each place at a specified time and according to standardized specifications. Interpreting the Index The Cost of Living Index measures relative price levels for consumer goods and services in participating areas. The average for all participating places, both metropolitan and nonmetropolitan, equals 100, and each participant’s index is read as a percentage of the average for all places. GROCERY ITEMS: T-bone steak, ground beef or hamburger meat, pork auto maintenance and gasoline. HEALTHCARE: Office visits to sausage, frying chicken, tuna, milk, eggs, margarine, parmesan cheese, optometrist, doctor and dentist. Non-prescription drugs and prescription potatoes, bananas, lettuce, bread, orange juice, coffee, sugar, corn drugs. MISCELLANEOUS GOODS & SERVICES: Hamburger sandwiches, flakes, sweet peas, peaches, Kleenex, washing powder, Crisco, frozen pizza, fried chicken, haircut, beauty salon, toothpaste, shampoo, dry food, frozen corn, potato chips and Coke.
