Cost of Living
While there is much to enjoy in the Bellevue and the Metro area, it is all below the national average. A survey of 300 U.S. cities reveals that the relative price levels for consumer goods and services in the area are 12.0% below the national index of 100 for six major components of grocery items, housing, utilities, transportation, health care and miscellaneous goods and services.
Housing/Rental
Housing is reasonably priced compared to other areas of the country. According to a survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors, the median home sale price was $138,000 for the third quarter of 2005. The median for the United States during the same period was $215,000. The average cost to rent a two-bedroom apartment is $671 per month.
Tax Information
Local Sales and Use Tax

Seven people, including a 9-year-old girl, were shot within an hour-long span Sunday night in the Austin community on Chicago's West Side.
The first shooting, which happened about 7:45 p.m. near West Monroe Street and South Lotus Avenue, left five males, ranging from 17 to 29, wounded. One of the victims was taken in serious-to-critical condition to Mt. Sinai Hospital, and another was taken to Loretto Hospital in good condition, said Fire Department spokesman Quention Curtis.
The other three were taken in fair-to-serious or good condition to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, Curtis said.
Police Officer Michael Fitzpatrick, a police spokesman, said the shooting was a drive-by. Police said some of the victims were seen running south on Lotus either before or after they were shot.
Investigators could be seen examining a basement apartment at the scene.
A little more than a half an hour later, a 9-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy were wounded in a drive-by shooting a little over two miles away in the 1000 block of North Leclaire Avenue.
The girl and boy were taken in fair-to-serious condition to Mt. Sinai.
There's no initial indication that the shootings were related. No one was in custody for either shooting.
Further details weren't readily available as Grand-Central Area detectives continued to investigate.
