Alaska has the 14th highest price level of the 51 states and territories the Bureau of Economic Analysis measures: 2 percent over the national average overall. The premium is concentrated in housing, at 6 percent under, while goods sit 6 percent over and services 2 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.
