The relationship between local wages and the cost of living is often positive, resulting in many high-paying states also being expensive places to reside.

According to the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center, Mississippi has the second-lowest living costs in the U.S., while Massachusetts has the second-highest cost of living, based on Council for Community and Economic Research survey data.

Wyoming and Florida are outliers in terms of their median wage and cost of living. While Wyoming has the 26th highest median wage, it is the 18th cheapest state to live in. Florida, on the other hand, has the 14th lowest median wage but is the 29th cheapest state to live in.
