Cost of Living of SEC towns. Refence SEC town Home Values Thread.

So I thought I'd do a thingy for cost of living in SEC using the housing cost as a basis. I'll use Nerd Wallet Cost of Living calculator and a combined household income of $100,000.00. This number doesn't matter as the calculator reposts as dollars and percentage. I tried it out with different amounts and the change was proportional to all amounts entered. For the Gump posters, this means it doesn't matter what income is entered.
I'll use Athens as originating city as it's close to the middle of housing list, and I'm assuming it's close in size to most of these Podunk burgs of the SEC.
