Wisconsin is slightly below the national average in the US, being nearly 3%. Utilities, transportation, and miscellaneous costs all share that they are a bit below the national average. Groceries are about a percent higher, unfortunately. However, Wisconsin shines because the housing costs are over 11 points lower than the national average, with the median home cost being over $100K less than what you will pay in other areas. Overall, it can be a state where you could have a comfortable retirement, but this can depend on where you live and your overall budget.
