Methodology Note

How This Ranking Is Calculated

Ranked by overall Cost Pressure Score, where lower scores indicate higher net pressure after burden, movement, and income-offset signals are combined.

Each row links to the canonical geography report so readers can inspect component breakdown, trend direction, driver context, and methodology notes without creating duplicate report URLs.
