Only semi-beautiful, but I tried

Annual cost of living data according to SmartAsset 2025 Report, except for DC which is not included in their reporting.

DC annual cost of living was estimated to be $99,424 per separate data, however it may be outdated. This would place DC as less expensive than 18 states by 2025 numbers, which is probably lower than it should be.

Minimum wage income assumes 40 hours per week by 52 weeks a year at the minimum wage rate.

Are you using each state's minimum wage or the federal minimum wage?

It is based on each state’s minimum wage, although about 10 states are still matched to the $7.25 federal minimum.

If it were just the federal minimum wage then it would basically be the same as a cost of living map

Some state minimum wages are superceded by city laws.
