The cost of living index in Flagstaff is about 107% the national average. A
gallon of unleade runs $1.94. Property taxes are really low--too low, in my
opinion--and the sales tax is pretty high.

Here's a link to the local Chamber of Commerce page, which has some basic stats
you may find of interest: http://www.flagstaffchamber.com/chamber_news.php
