Cost of Living in Temple, Texas

Temple, Texas has a cost of living index rating slightly higher than that if the nation at 103 due largely to housing expenses making up 43%, transportation at 10%, groceries (10%), utilities (7%) and healthcare making up 8%. However when looked at closely these figures give a more nuanced perspective because while utility costs are relatively high due largely to expensive power sources like coal or nuclear energy many other categories remain low or even below average providing citizens with an overall moderate cost of living compared to much almost anywhere else in America.
