Did you see that "South Carolina" is an option in the drop-down? It has a value of 0.7, which seems pretty generous: it's higher than New Jersey (0.633), and is the same as Atlanta, Charlotte, and Connecticut (0.7), all of which have higher cost-of-living than most parts of South Carolina. The fact that the urban areas of South Carolina aren't broken out actually seems better for anyone who would plan to live in a rural part of the state. By comparison, "Everywhere else, Georgia", "Everywhere else, North Carolina", and "Everywhere else, Virginia" all have a multiplier of 0.633. This seems to indicate that you'd get paid about ~10.5% more in rural SC than you would in other rural places in the SE.
