Maine has the 26th highest price level of the 51 states and territories the Bureau of Economic Analysis measures: 3 percent under the national average overall. The premium is concentrated in housing, at 21 percent under, while goods sit 3 percent under and services 3 percent over. 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.
