Really depends on the area, if you went to a larger city you're going to pay more, Greenville is one of the highest cost of living cities. Same goes for Tennessee, if you were to go to Nashville you'd probably think you was in Hawaii with the prices of things, but other rural cities such as Murfreesboro get cheaper. Thats why if your job ever involves moving you always look at cost of living for the area and compare it back to current living arrangements, you might find that 15K a year raise only translate into minimal gains and a large hassle of learning a new area and moving just for the sake of more money.

Then again with online buying becoming a huge thing now that skews things.
I imagine soon enough that too will become skewed based on location.
