Indiana has the 34th highest price level of the 51 states and territories the Bureau of Economic Analysis measures: 7 percent under the national average overall. The premium is concentrated in housing, at 26 percent under, while goods sit 4 percent under and services 1 percent under. That matters more than the headline number, because housing is the part a tax-free stipend is meant to cover and the rest comes out of taxed wages.
