Frequently asked questions

How much does independent living cost?

We don't have enough published state-level data yet to report a reliable national figure. Check the table above for your specific state.

Why does independent living cost vary so much by state?

Local wages, real estate costs, staffing regulations, and cost of living all drive regional differences. A state with a higher minimum wage and cost of living for direct care staff will generally cost more.
