This should cover cities nationwide. there’s plenty of other reports just like it:

You got to look at the source of those glowing reports about the economy. Most are liberal rags like USA Today. Not know or telling the the truth but rather keep the masses happy so they don’t demand impeachment of the POTUS.

No, the article covers no price/cost of living facts for the ten cities with the fastest growing salaries, and it is not possible to extrapolate any cost of living facts for them from the skimpy and largely ancedotal facts about the cities covered in the report you cited. Salaries alone do not a cost of living rise create, when other economic factors, including increased local competition, can mitigate them in some economic sectors, and some sectors, like housing, have factors which can retard or expand prices without regard to salaries.

Your cost of living claim - specifically for the ten cities with the fastest growing average salaries - seems logical but has no factual legs; so far.
