A new report found San Jose residents, on average, pay more in monthly household bills than people in any major U.S. city.
According to new numbers from online payment platform Doxo, San Jose tops the list when it comes to the amount residents spend annually on 13 household bills. The median amount for San Jose residents was $44,947 per year.
“The collective bundle is one of the highest in the country. And that’s just the nature of living in the Bay Area, but a lot of that it’s actually in the housing portion of it. So, when we look at the cost overall, it’s 78% higher in San Jose than the U.S. median for those same 13 essential bills. When you take out housing, tho, it’s still very high, it’s about 47% higher than the national median,” Doxo CEO Steve Shivers said…
