Another California city is even more expensive to live in than San Francisco, according to a new report.
The report was conducted between mid-August and mid-September 2022. It's based on a cost-of-living survey that incorporates hundreds of factors, including price of goods and services, utilities, car payments and housing. A major contributor to the skyrocketing cost of living is worldwide inflation, which the EIU measured at 8.1% year over year, the highest mark the organization has ever recorded in its two decades of digital surveys.
Topping the list of most expensive cities are New York and Singapore, which are tied. It's the first time New York — which also now has the highest, ahead of both San Francisco and Boston — has been given the unceremonious title. Singapore, meanwhile, has been ranked as the world's most expensive city eight times in 10 years, according to the EIU.
In third place is Tel Aviv, followed by a fourth-place tie between Los Angeles and Hong Kong. Switzerland's Zurich and Geneva are No. 6 and No. 7, respectively. San Francisco finally comes in at No. 8, four whole spots below LA and just above Paris and a tie for No. 10 between Sydney and Denmark's Copenhagen.
Other U.S. cities — including Atlanta; Boston; Charlotte, North Carolina; Indianapolis; Portland, Oregon; and San Diego — saw significant cost-of-living jumps as well but not nearly enough to reach the same level as New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
