Utica area index 92.7, where 100 is the national average.

Utica runs about 7% below the national cost-of-living average, with median home values near $158,000 — under half the U.S. figure. Shop Victorians in Rutger-Steuben, postwar houses in North Utica, or downtown apartments; South Utica and New Hartford command the local premium. The housing-to-income burden rates poorly, though, so weigh it against your RN wage.
