Only semi-beautiful, but I tried
Annual cost of living data according to SmartAsset 2025 Report, except for DC which is not included in their reporting.
DC annual cost of living was estimated to be $99,424 per separate data, however it may be outdated. This would place DC as less expensive than 18 states by 2025 numbers, which is probably lower than it should be.
Minimum wage income assumes 40 hours per week by 52 weeks a year at the minimum wage rate.
That whole area around DC is wierd to. It like you can live somewhere run down and shaddy or a super nice complex with a concierge and pool. I could not find anything moderate when I was looking at a position out there.
