Yup. I moved from Seattle to KY three years ago. Took a $50k a year hit and still live far better than I did in Seattle.

And you aren’t even calculating the value of better neighbors, are you?

Similar move for me, but Calif. to AZ. last year.
Increase in compensation combined with 7% decrease in state taxes, lower property tax rate and -0.75 $/gallon on gas all helped to confirm the correctness of the decision.

I think it depends on what you buy. I moved from PA to WA 6 years ago. PA earned income taxes(State/county/township you live in/township you work in/school district) was over 4000. Property taxes for a 200000 house was 6500. Car insurance was over 2000/year for 2 good drivers. Homeowners was 1200/year. Milk was price fixed at $4/gal.
Now in WA I pay 0 income tax, 400 homeowners, 1000 car ins, and 3000 property tax. I saved almost 10000/year just by moving. My first day in WA I saw a sign at the 7-11 advertising two (TWO!) gallons of milk for $5. But this graphic says I live in a higher cost state, now. It sure doesn't feel like it.
