In the nation's poorest states the dollar has the most value, worth $1.16 in Mississippi and $1.15 in Alabama and Arkansas. But in Hawaii, the most expensive state to live in, a dollar is worth just $0.84. A dollar is worth $0.87 in New York and California, both with affluent cities. The great difference in value is due to the cost of housing, food and services which vary across the country. It’s a stark comparison – the purchasing power is nearly 35 percent greater in Mississippi than New York. Only in four states - Rhode Island, Florida, Oregon, and Delaware - is a dollar actually worth $1.00.
