Nashville area index 96.3, where 100 is the national average.
Nashville runs about 4% below the national cost of living, but housing has surged — a $350K home in 2020 can top $600K now. East Nashville's bungalows and Germantown's restorations carry a premium; Salemtown and Hope Gardens stay closer to downtown for less. The Gulch and SoBro are pure high-rise condo territory.
