With grocery prices rising sharply in recent years, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on the Cities Where People Spend the Most and Least on Groceries to highlight the places where food is the least affordable for Americans.
WalletHub analyzed the prices of 26 common grocery items in 100 of the largest cities. We then added these costs together and compared them to the median household income in order to determine where people are spending the greatest percentage of their income on groceries.
