Ehh in reality I think the US is best approximated by four tiers

Tier 1: NYC, Bay Area, Boston, LA, DC 💀
Tier 2: Chicago, Miami, Austin, Seattle, San Diego, etc.
Tier 3: Dallas, Houston, Charlotte, Atlanta (maybe it’s Tier 2), Tampa, Phoenix, etc.
Tier 4: Idk Lubbock I guess

So label them as you wish

I'd put Seattle in tier 1 and then SF and NYC in tier 0 lol.

MCOL, Lubbock is LCOL

10 years ago would have said LCOL. Cost has risen much faster than national average. It is MCOL now, but still among the cheapest large cities

Dallas is LCOL at PwC. Tier 3 is the the lowest tier and Dallas is Tier 3 in terms of pay.
