Residents of Alaska’s capital city boast about the local scenery, abundant wildlife and endless outdoor activities, but there’s a price to pay for the breathtaking beauty — it’s estimated that the cost of living in Juneau is 30 percent more expensive than the average U.S. city. High energy and housing costs are the biggest contributors, but the cost to live there is still lower than many other cities on this list.
