I heard the area is more expensive; is that true?
How does the cost of living in Serangoon compare to the rest of Singapore?
1 Answer
Serangoon (East) has a cost‑of‑living index of 131, meaning it is about 31 % higher than the national average (which is set at 100). This reflects higher prices for housing, dining, and everyday goods in the area. While salaries in the region average $78,660 per year, the higher living costs can offset that advantage. For a detailed breakdown, consult the national statistics bureau or cost‑of‑living calculators that let you compare specific expense categories.
