Not accurate for me. If the average salary in XXX is $10,000 and the cost of a lunch is $50; then it's not quite expensive for the average person. But when your salary is $300 and the lunch is $10, it's really expensive.

Well at the very least it's useful if you're comparing job offers, in which case you know the salary, but not the cost of living. (Another thing to look up is taxes.)
