Appendix 6 - Cost of Living Data
Cost of Living Data from Truckee Meadows Tomorrow
This graphic shows the average cost of living (blue line) for families in the Reno-Sparks metropolitan area. The actions proposed in this CAP can improve local cost of living in the following ways:
- Building and home weatherization and energy efficiency can reduce utility costs.
- Improving air quality can reduce health care costs from asthma, cardiovascular disease, lung cancer and other air pollution-related diseases.
- Improving access to mass transit and alternative transportation (bikes, e-bikes, scooters, etc.), and by building our community in ways that don’t require cars can reduce transportation costs for people.
