About The Modern Ledger

We are a US-first cost of living and lifestyle database built for Americans who want pricing clarity before a move, a job change, or a long weekend vacation.

We track inflation data across 50 US States and major global cities to help Americans budget better.

Our Data Methodology

We do not use AI to guess prices. We aggregate data from local rental listings (Zillow), government utility reports, and user submissions to ensure 98% accuracy.

Data Sources

Where do we get our data? We do not guess. Our pricing data is aggregated from:

• Zillow & Redfin Rental Markets (For housing averages).
• USDA Food Plans (For grocery estimates).
• Local Utility Providers (For electricity/water rates).

Our research focuses on apartments, groceries, healthcare, utilities, and transportation costs with US-standard formatting, so you can compare dollars side-by-side without translation or conversion.
