How the Dallas Regional Cost Index is calculated
Commercial cleaning price is labor-dominated, so regional differences track local janitorial wages and cost of living. The Regional Cost Index (RCI) is computed as 70% weight on the ratio of regional to national janitorial wages (BLS OEWS, SOC 37-2011) plus 30% weight on the regional price parity (BEA RPP). Dallas's RCI of 0.98 maps to the “Suburban / small metro” tier used by the CleanQuote calculators, so benchmark and calculator outputs reconcile.
