The way I’m interpreting the charts, the least expensive (green dot) clusters are indicative of which port received a given item.

The stores furthest from the port also have the highest cost.

Most vegetable/fruit prices seems cheaper on the west coast. I assume because most are produced and in California and don't have the added transportation costs?

Logistics make up the bulk of most cheaper unit cost goods.

The price a farmer gets is peanuts per unit.

Less applicable to an iPhone, but very applicable to produce or even toilet paper.

I feel like there’s a few countries missing :) Intersting to see how the prices relate just in the US though.

Oops, yes it covers US only. Could not find easily available data for European countries :)

You and me both. I'm in Europe (Aldi Süd) and have been looking for something like that for years.

I would assume so as well. Generally produce apear cheaper in West/South although organic avocados are bucking this trend

Up here north of the border, food (along with everything else) on the west coast in BC tends to be slightly more expensive than it is in e.g. Ontario. This is an interesting site, would love a Cannuck version.

There's also Aldi in Australia and China Also I'm not quite sure about the grammar of "Aldi's"

I will check if I can find data for Australia or China. Fixed the grammar :)
