This website is hilarious! Thanks for sharing! I thought the place where I live is expensive, used the website to compare with Tallinn and found place where I live is actually cheaper in most areas :)

With the exception of education for children is still looks slightly cheaper than living in the rural Southeast in the US.

Can confirm that those numbers seem to be mostly up to date.

I did not expect for the cost of a home to be almost 500% more than where I am currently.

Many countries in Europe, including Estonia, are in the small peak of real estate bubble. Inflation is very high and people have been hurrying to invest money they have. Real estate is obvious choice for many.

Estonia can be considered a Nordic country. Many people from Finland have moved to Tallinn for lower taxes and lower prices, because it's just two hours by ferry away from Helsinki.
