- Missing items are excluded rather than replaced with zero or average prices.
Field notes
The site combines regional rankings with item-level and retailer-level comparisons rather than presenting only a single cost-of-living number. Its methodology says incomplete categories are omitted and remaining weights are adjusted proportionally, while missing products are not replaced by zeros or averages. Visitors can also change category weights to model different shopping habits, though the extracted page does not expose the current result values.
