Here's the first figure on our list. You don't have anything to compare it to yet, so what do you think of it? Does it seem high for Alabama, which isn't generally considered to be an expensive place to live? If so, you best brace yourself; costs will go much higher than this as we move through our list!
Alabama is one of the very few states in the USA where the estimated annual cost of housing comes in below $10K per year. Feeding yourself is also comparatively cheap, with the estimated cost for one fully grown adult being a little less than $7,000. Perhaps that's not surprising for a state which is loudly and proudly working class, within which the majority of income for both the state and the people who live in it comes from the steel industry.
