Virginia's overall cost of living lands close to the national average - a Bureau of Economic Analysis regional price index of 101.1 against 100 nationally - which is what the starting rent below is adjusted for, instead of a flat national default.

Virginia taxes income at graduated rates up to about 5.75%.

That makes it the 16th most expensive state in the country by this measure, out of 51 - worth knowing before assuming a national-average rent applies here.
