Perhaps I am wrong though: Cost of Living Comparison: Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee - Helena, Montana Change cities <http://www.bestplaces.net/col/> Helena is 4% more expensive than Nashville-Davidson. Health is the biggest factor in the cost of living difference. Health is 21% more expensive in Helena. A salary of $85,000 in Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee should increase to $88,501 in Helena, Montana Interesting. Cost of Living Comparison: Charlotte, North Carolina - Helena, Montana Change cities Helena is 3% more expensive than Charlotte. Food is the biggest factor in the cost of living difference. Food is 7% more expensive in Helena.
