LOS ANGELES - While it's no surprise that the cost of living in California is exorbitantly high, there are a few towns and neighborhoods that are considered to be "reasonably priced," according to a new study.
Niche recently released its "2023 Places with the Lowest Cost of Living in California" list to figure out which places were more affordable than others in the Golden State.
Analysts took multiple factors into consideration, including a location's housing, food, and gas costs, as well as median tax rates to figure out the overall affordability and relative cost of living of an area.
