Pittsburgh Ranks High in Affordability

By David Guo – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
August 22, 2008

“Pittsburgh remained one of the most affordable regions among its peers, according to second-quarter
cost-of-living figures analyzed by the Pittsburgh Regional Indicators Consortium.

Pittsburgh’s housing and basic health-care costs were second lowest in the second quarter behind St.
Louis and Cincinnati, respectively.  Its transportation costs were second highest, ahead of Boston.

The Pittsburgh region includes Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington and
Westmoreland counties.”
