Mayo

Cost of Living

On average, for every dollar you spend on gas, fuel, cigarettes, groceries, personal care items, or household cleaning supplies in Whitehorse, you’ll pay $1.22 to buy the same products in Mayo (April, 2012).

As with many rural communities, when Mayo residents travel to Whitehorse, they continue to purchase in bulk, or they order materials and goods by phone or online, or they supplement their groceries by hunting, fishing, or berry picking.
