6 Data from almost 100 Miami County businesses was compiled to create the ACCRA Cost of Living Index. At least three businesses provided prices for more than 60 items. The participating businesses represented each community in the county providing comparative services. Standards for the items were provided by The Council For Community and Economic Research (C2ER) to create consistency among participants. Prices for utilities, health care, fuel, grocery items and housing were among those surveyed. Of the more than 300 regions studied, the Kansas City metro area ranked toward the top third. Prices gathered specifically for Miami County ranked in the bottom third. Data for smaller markets is gathered three times annually and released by C2ER. A composite score is provided along with the weighted categories.

A factor of 1 depicts a perfect balance of trade where the purchases of county residents who shop elsewhere are offset by the purchases of out-of-county customers. Values greater than 1 indicate that trade is pulled in from beyond their home county. Values less than 1 indicate that more trade is lost than pulled into the county.

7 Note: Includes violent crime and property crime per 1,000 people Source: Kansas Bureau of Investigation The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. It reflects spending patterns for all urban consumers and urban wage earners. It is based on the expenditures of almost all residents of urban or metropolitan statistical areas, including professionals, the self-employed, the poor, the unemployed and retired persons as well as urban wage earners. Excluded from the CPI are the spending patterns of persons living in rural non-metropolitan areas, farm families, persons in the Armed Forces, and those in institutions, such as prisons and mental hospitals. The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers in the Midwest advanced 0.1% in September, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 1.7% before seasonal adjustment. Increases in shelter and food indexes outweighed declines in energy indexes to result in the seasonally adjusted all items increase. The food index rose 0.3 percent as five of the six major grocery store food group indexes increased. The energy index declined 0.7 percent as the indexes for gasoline, electricity, and fuel oil all fell. Source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics Page 7

10 Assessed valuations include the combined value of personal property, real property and the value of things such as utility infrastructure and mineral rights. Personal property includes vehicles while real property includes land. While reliance on real property versus personal property varies by community, overall almost 30% of the county s assessed valuation was generated by commercial uses. The State of Kansas determines how values are assessed. For example, commercial structures pay property taxes on 25% of their appraised value while a home pays property taxes on 11.5% of the home s appraised value. Source: Miami County Clerk Page 10
