According to "Cities Ranked & Rated 2nd ed." (Bert Sperling and Peter Sander), BPI is a measurement that: "[C]ompares metro area incomes to metro area cost of living, and, bottom line, indicates the potential for long-term financial prosperity in an area. An area with high incomes looks attractive on the surface, but an icome level 20% higher than national averages simply disappears when living costs are also 20% higher; the BPI shows where real incomes are sufficient or insufficient to meet local living costs. The Buying Power Index is calculated as a ratio of metro area median household income, normalized against national averages, to the cost of living, which is also normalized." ~ page 69
