Cost of Living
∗
Where is the best place for your employees? Cost of living would be one of the best indicators for you to make that decision. ACCRA Cost of Living index consistently reports that overall Dallas’s cost of living is much less than U.S average except for few items. Compared to the rest of the country, Dallas’ total cost of living is 8.5% lower than the U.S. average Dallas provides a variety of urban and suburban housing options to newly coming residents. Particularly, since cost of housing is one of the least expensive metropolitan markets in the U.S., new residents from other regions can easily enjoy the high-quality and luxury housing for much lower costs. Compared with its peer cities, Dallas’ total cost of living shows very low level of index. Thus, Dallas’ professional salary based on living costs is relatively higher than other major cities’ ones. There is no personal or corporate income tax in Texas. Texas was ranked 49th among 50 states in total state taxes per capita amount in 2005. Therefore, Dallas gives an excellent neighborhood opportunity to its residents. With low cost of living, affordable housing and low taxes, the offering is hard to beat.
