Cost of living near Emporia

Seniors love moving to Kansas because its cost of living is 11% below the national average. Housing is significantly lower in Kansas, 30% below the average cost, and the median home cost is nearly half. The only part where Kansas is slightly higher than the national average is in the utility department, but the price is only 0.1% more than the national average. It's easy to find a large home with a lot of land in this state, so if you want to move to Kansas, that's one perk that you will want to consider.
