According to the source, the index is relative to New York City, meaning each index should be 100 percent. If another city has, for example, a rent index of 120, it means that, on average, rents in that city are 20 percent pricier than in New York City. If a city has a rent index of 70, the city rents are 30 percent less expensive than in New York City.
Consumer goods like groceries, restaurants, transportation, and utilities are reflected in this index. Accommodation expenses, such as lease or mortgage, are not included in the figure.
