The ACCRA index attempts to measure the cost of
living among U.S. cities. The ACCRA index is set
at 100 for the average U.S. city. A number higher
than 100 means that prices are higher than average,
and a number lower than 100 means that prices
are lower than average. This index allows comparison
between cities, but cannot be used over and does
not measure inflation. The ACCRA indexes make
price comparisons based on an average mid-manager's
budget.
