This is a good list however it is not entirely accurate and these numbers here are all based on NYC living which skews the COL numbers higher.New York
Hourly wage needed for a single working adult: $53.72
Salary needed for a single working adult: $111,738
Rank of income needed for a family: 4
Salary needed across two working adults raising two children: $278,970
If you live in Upstate, Central or Western New York, these numbers wouldn't be so high.
