FLAGSTAFF COST OF LIVING
Cost of Living Index (COLI)
The Greater Flagstaff Chamber gathers pricing information for a cost-of-living report every quarter which is compiled by the Council for Community and Economic Research (C2ER) to create the national yearly cost of living index.
The latest data represents average prices submitted for the first two quarters of 2017. The Flagstaff composite cost of living index was 115.0, or 15% more than the national average. The composite index reflects pricing in six categories: housing, groceries, utilities, transportation, health care and miscellaneous goods and services.
Each category is weighted differently:
- Composite Index Housing (27.59% of Composite)
- Groceries (13.61% of Composite)
- Utilities (10.06% of Composite)
- Transportation (9.59% of Composite)
- Health Care (4% of Composite)
