Bakersfield area index 100.9, where 100 is the national average.

Bakersfield lands about 1% above the national cost-of-living average—an inland pocket where California homeownership stays reachable. Oleander Sunset anchors older, character-rich central blocks; Seven Oaks tops the market near $650,000; downtown two-bedrooms by CSU Bakersfield run about $1,525.
