The overall was calculated by using cost-of-living data from each US city with a population exceeding 500,000 to find out the average price of a cocktail, cab fare (three-mile journey), a bottle of wine, and a pint of beer. In addition, data was analyzed from the hotel site Vio to discover the median price for a one-night stay in a budget hotel for each city. The price of each category was then added together to discover an overall cost.
