Outside of city centers in my state it's almost 20% less per hour. Sure, the housing is cheaper, but other goods cost the same. That's 20% less money to spend on groceries, cell phone bill, gas, car payment, etc. Also, moving out of the city, I would have to get a car again to get anywhere, instead of using the bus. It doesn't always make sense to just drop everything and move to the burbs.
Yeah, it always depends on your field, there's also big cities that are cheaper than others, where I'm at housing in the fifth city by population is at least 50% cheaper than in the first city and salaries aren't that different.
