Hi everyone! I made a web app I built called WatchPennies to graphically compare multiple US locations. Initially, I was a bit frustrated with the current tools that only let you compare 2 locations at a time, so I built this! WatchPennies helps you compare the annual cost-of-living in different US counties side-by-side. This web app is FREE TO USE and requires NO SIGN-UPS.

You can see a breakdown of costs for: housing, food, transportation, healthcare, taxes, all updated live on the map. You can click on counties or search by name, and the comparison chart updates instantly.

The data comes from the Economic Policy Institute’s 2025 Family Budget dataset.

Feedback is appreciated! Thank you!
