Cost of Living Index for urban areas

Assume that you received a job offer in a different city and weren’t sure about how the cost of living compared to each other. Will you receive more (or less) after-taxes income and will it maintain (or sustain) your present lifestyle in your new location? The Council for Community and Economic Research supplies comparative data for urban areas on a quarterly basis, and areas surveyed include those where organizations have volunteered to participate.
