9 Cost of Living in New York City New York City is home to three of the top ten areas in the USA with the highest cost of living, according to the Council for Community and Ecomic Research. Manhattan has the highest cost of living, followed by Brooklyn. Queens ranks number five. Four out of the ten cities with the lowest cost of living are in Texas, according to the index. In Manhattan, the standard of living is more than twice the national average. Though the labor market may be poised to grow this year, Americans will likely still struggle with low wage growth, potentially placing even more strain on those people living in New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and other high cost cities. In New York, the minimum wage is $8.75, far below the $11.86 an hour it takes to actually live in the city, according to the Living Wage Project. And it takes six figures ($100,000 USD and up) to effectively belong in the city's middle class. A 2009 study from the Center for an Urban Future found that someone making $60,000 and living in Manhattan is equivalent to someone making $26,092, according to the New York Daily News. The average cost of living is as follows (in USD plus tax): Rent: $1000 $5000 per month plus utilities. * Work and Travel participants average from $350 $550 per person in shared housing. * Food: $25 $80 per day per person; $100 a dinner for 2 for fine dining. Taxi: from JFK airport to Manhattan: $52 plus tolls and tip Ferry: One round trip ticket is $12 per person Subway: $2.50 per ride and up Bus: $2.25 per ride per person Transportation pass: $100 per month, per person; unlimited use.
