Why is the second location paid?

National CPI is live from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (series CUUR0000SA0, CPI-U, year-over-year) and is shared across both columns. Per-scenario real-wage and local-CPI figures are modeled around that baseline — production wires BLS area + wage series + Census per zip and occupation. Multi-location comparison is gated by the spine plan gate (feature "multi"); the free tier shows one live column.
