Cost-of-living adjusted per capita income

I wonder if anybody (especially, any official statistician) has ever attempted to list U.S. counties by per capita income adjusted for differences in cost of living??

I read that seven years ago it was estimated that Williamson County, Tennessee – which was ranked 40th in this list based upon raw per capita income and 20th by raw household income – was actually the wealthiest county in the US based upon household purchasing power due to its relatively low living costs.

According to the Tax Foundation’s ‘The Relative Value of $100’, the purchasing power of 100 dollars in the US ranges from $115.34 in flat, hot Mississippi to $85.62 in Hawaii and $84.67 in the District of Columbia. In Honolulu, by the same source, $100 in the “average” US can buy one only $80.97, which would mean that the real income there would have to be cut by at least one fifth to represent individuals’ and families actual purchasing power. In contrast, in über-Republican Roberts County, Texas (where Trump received over 94 percent of the vote), $100 can buy goods and services worth on average over $115 in the US as a whole, so that its mean family income of $67,321 would purchase $77,419. This would make Roberts County in real terms around 25 percent richer than über-liberal and Democratic San Francisco (estimated mean family PPP of $61,970).

At the other extreme, how poor would the Bronx – and even Suffolk County, Massachusetts – be adjusted for their high living costs and moderate incomes? luokehao, 15:22 (UTC), 2 June 2017
