Fair, but according to the data here: https://www.doxo.com/insights/the-united-states-of-bill-pay-50-largest-u-s-cities-household-spend-report-2022/

After looking at incomes here, DC is one of the affordable places. In DC, people only spend 36.0% of average income on bills. In Los Angeles they spend 57% of average income on bills.

Of the top 50 metro areas, only 2 are more affordable by this metric. Only Minneapolis/St Paul and Omaha are cheaper.
