In this chapter, we discuss the findings on the cost of living rankings for expatriates in the 103 cities over the years from 2005 to 2013. The results are presented in alphabetical order of the cities' names. Each city's results are presented in the figure titled “Cost of Living and 10 Consumption Categories Rankings for Expatriates”. The horizontal axis denotes the years in the study period while the vertical axis shows the rankings of a particular city. Rankings range from first to 103rd with first meaning the highest cost and 103rd indicating the lowest cost.
