I live in a small Midwest city and heard Denver is expensive.
How does Denver's cost of living compare to my hometown?

Denver’s cost of living index is 106, meaning it’s about 6% higher than the national average. Housing, groceries, and dining are the main contributors. If you earn $81,000 a year, you’ll find that the average rent of $1,975 per month fits comfortably within that salary, leaving room for savings and discretionary spending. For a detailed breakdown, check the city’s economic reports or local cost calculators.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date. Check official sources for anything important, and add your own answer if you know Denver.
