About MoveCostCompare

MoveCostCompare helps people make relocation decisions by comparing the cost of living across cities in the United States. We aggregate official, publicly available data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) and present it in a clear, comparable format.

Our goal is to answer practical questions like "how expensive is this city?" and "how does it compare to where I live now?" using real data rather than guesswork.

Where our data comes from

All housing, income, and rent figures are sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-Year Estimates, the most comprehensive public dataset on American communities. We update figures as new estimates are released.
