Cost of Living in Sioux Falls – What You Need to Know

 

Hello friends considering a move! Julie Roth here. If you are thinking about relocating to our great city, one of the first questions on your mind is likely about the cost of living. You will be happy to know that Sioux Falls offers a fantastic quality of life at a price that is often more affordable than the national average.

 

According to recent data, the overall cost of living in Sioux Falls is lower than the national average. A single person's average monthly expenses are estimated to be around $2,378, while a family of four can expect to spend approximately $5,237 per month.

 

The biggest driver of this affordability is housing. Buying a home in Sioux Falls is significantly more affordable than in many other parts of the country. This allows you to get more home for your money and build equity more quickly. The cost of other expenses like food, transportation, and healthcare are also generally below the national average.

 

This affordability, combined with a strong job market and a lack of state income tax, makes Sioux Falls a very attractive place to live. You can enjoy the benefits of a bustling city without the high price tag.
