This city typically lands closer to the national middle, so salary decisions are driven as much by taxes and housing choices as by headline cost differences.
A reasonable starting point is to keep housing near 27% of take-home pay. That is usually the quickest way to judge whether a salary feels stretched or comfortable here.
