* The source defines local purchasing power as "purchasing power in buying goods and services in a given city for the average net salary in that city." Using New York City as the base for the calculation, with a maximum score of 100 in the ranking, the source explains that "if the domestic purchasing power is 40, this means that the inhabitants of that city with an average salary can afford to buy on an average 60 percent less goods and services than New York City residents with an average salary."
