[Raleigh vs. Durham/Chapel Hill vs. DC vs. Charlotte] 2026 cost of living : pay scales analysis w/ Lumo assist
1st place: Raleigh area
Runner-up: Durham
3rd: DC (assuming housing costs in commutable suburbs, not in-city)
Hard sell: Charlotte. median pay vs. rent ratio is mediocre; need longer commutes to make affordable
