Grouping places by metropolitan area can be helpful in gauging living costs differentials when the central city is not represented. While data for suburban places can be used as surrogates for central city data, however, users should note that cost of living differences can exist within large metropolitan areas, and that data for suburbs may not match those that might have been obtained for the central city or for the entire metropolitan area. The average price reported for each item in the survey is shown for each participating place. Canadian prices are reported in U.S. dollars, using the exchange rate in effect on the Friday during the pricing period. Direct requests for data to your local chamber of commerce or public library.
