Massachusetts has the 7th highest price level of the 51 states and territories the Bureau of Economic Analysis measures: 6 percent over the national average overall. The premium is concentrated in housing, at 28 percent over, while goods sit 1 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.

Rent is the one-bedroom Fair Market Rent HUD publishes for that metro, which is what a housing stipend is trying to cover. The open-contract count beside each metro is the sample its median rests on, and outside the largest markets that sample is small: a median over one or two contracts is a single posting's rate rather than a market rate, so read the count first.
