Rounding off our list, here's Wyoming. It's not only bottom of the list alphabetically, but it's also fairly close to the bottom when it comes to demand on your resources. That's despite the near-$19,000 costs of housing and food. We can only assume that other amenities come at very low expense here. We know what to blame the cost of food on - the massive expanses of space between people. There are only 5.8 people per square mile in Wyoming, and on the I-8, towns are a full one hundred miles apart.
Wyoming shares an interesting problem with Montana - it's sat on top of the volcano under Yellowstone National Park, and therefore it'll be the first place underneath the lava and ash when it eventually blows! Until then, the people there are busy producing wool, and enjoying the fishing at Flaming Gorge.
