Cost of living varies by area depending mainly on:

1)the income of the people already in that area and

2) the ratio of demand for housing in that area/city vs supply.

Pay is sometimes dependent on cost of living of where you’re working.
Pay is also commonly dependent on how remote the work is since: remote work attracts less workers ( such as oil rig paltforms at sea)
