The city is almost entirely car-dependent, and the absence of a functional transit network means virtually every household needs at least one vehicle. Car ownership costs, including insurance, gas, maintenance, and payments, often run $700 to $1,100 per month per vehicle. Residents with two-car households should include $1,400 to $2,200 per month in transportation expenses in any budget calculation. Air conditioning costs are also a year-round consideration, with Florida's heat and humidity driving electric bills higher than in more temperate climates.",{"title":25,"searchDepth":26,"depth":26,"links":27},"",2,[],"What your salary is worth in Orlando compared to the US average","md",{},true,"\u002Fcities\u002Forlando",{"title":7,"description":28},"cities\u002Forlando","xS4RFIu--9i9AMkivBfKbEnqUrU37ysdADAGnkzSMaA",{"id":37,"title":38,"body":39,"description":55,"extension":29,"meta":56,"navigation":31,"path":57,"seo":58,"stem":59,"__hash__":60},"cities\u002Fcities\u002Flouisville.md","Cost of Living in Louisville",{"type":9,"value":40,"toc":53},[41,44,47,50],[12,42,43],{},"Louisville has a cost of living index of 90.8, about 9.2% below the national average.
