Los Angeles is the most expensive U.S. city to live in, according to the U.S. News & World Report.
To create the ranking, which was pulled from the publication's "Best Places to Live and Retire" lists, the U.S. News & World Report evaluated data across five indexes: job market, value, quality of life, desirability and net migration. These indexes were chosen in a March 2022 public survey that asked Americans what they believed to be the most important factors to consider when choosing where to live.
