Cost of Living
Do you ever wonder to yourself as you sit motionless on the I-495 Beltway, "I make good money; why doesn't it go as far as I thought it would?" Thousands of former Ohio Valley residents are having the same thoughts in rush hour from Los Angeles to New York City to Washington DC to Raleigh to even Pittsburgh, Columbus and all points in between. Big cities mean inflated costs, unnecessary expenses and less buying power. 
In the Upper Ohio Valley, however, the cost of living is 21.24% lower than the U.S. average. No $9 beer nights. No $20 parking. Just good family, friends and the ability to do more for less!
