Portland or <br /> Detroit,you may not realize how good you have it here in the Twin Cities. <br /> Why? Because as a Twin Citian,you pay far less for common goods and <br /> services than do the residents in any of these cities. <br /> Based on a second-quarter 1996 survey conducted by the American <br /> Chamber of Commerce Researchers Association(ACCRA),the Twin Cities' <br /> • cost of living index was 101.3 against a national average of 100. <br /> As one of ACCRA's research affiliates, the GNICC collects price <br /> information on 59 different consumer items including groceries, housing, <br /> utilities and health care services. ACCRA then compiles the G%fCC's <br /> figures with those of 232 other major metropolitan areas in the U.S. and <br /> Canada. The average is set at 100 and all cities are ranked as a percentage <br /> of this average. <br /> Cost of Living <br /> Second Quarter 1996 <br /> MINNEAPOLIS/ST.PAUL MLI 101.3 <br /> Phoenix \ \ 103 <br /> Denver -M 103.1 <br /> Portland 107.4 <br /> Miami 1108.4 <br /> Los Angeles <br /> 115.7 <br /> San Diego �\\ \\\\\\ <br /> 121.7 <br /> Washington,D.C. <br /> 724.3 <br /> Philadelphia <br /> 128.4 <br /> Boston 138.3 <br /> 1 <br /> 95 100 105 110 115 120 125 130 135 140 145 <br /> C-0-1t.Md.. <br /> • Cost of living data is just one of the valuable pieces of information you'll find in the <br /> GMCC's Economic(612)370-9197.
