Apologies. The word Annual got incorrectly added to the third choice in the poll. It should just read "Cost to raise a child".

Correct answer: Cost to raise a child. Massachusetts is most expensive, Mississippi is least expensive.
Congrats to the majority of people who got that.

By process of elimination (clothing, tools, etc) I'll go with annual cost of raising your children.

[OlderAndWiser]

My first thought was the annual cost of a 3 BR apartment.

[NathanDavis]

that's living costs, for sure... so, the family one

[ArrowheadSW]

Annual cost of food for a family of 4, would be my guess.

[KostasKouvalis]

I was gonna say "New Car". If it's ANNUAL, I have no clue

[purplepoppy]

I'm going to guess womans clothes

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven MASS may be #1 in energy costs, but that's not what this map shows
