McDonald's Prices in Tulsa vs Los Angeles

A typical Big Mac® in Tulsa is $5.09; in Los Angeles it is $6.79. Those are city medians (22 restaurants against 67 restaurants), not one store standing in for the skyline. Same chain, two city medians, pickup prices from McDonald's own ordering system.

This page is the city, not a restaurant. Tulsa’s figure is the median pickup price across 22 McDonald's restaurants we priced; Los Angeles’s is the median across 67. One expensive airport location cannot drag either city, and one cheap store cannot pretend to be it.

Inside Tulsa a Big Mac® runs $4.89 to $5.39 at most of those restaurants (middle 80%). Inside Los Angeles it runs $6.29 to $7.59 at most of those restaurants (middle 80%). The city-to-city gap on that item is $1.70 on the medians, which is a statement about the two cities, not about a single till in either one. A spread inside one city is why a state average hides half the story.

Typical overlapping menu in these two cities

Only items that show up at enough restaurants in both cities to publish a median. Sorted by the city-to-city gap, not by either city’s menu board.

Common in only one of these cities

Tulsa’s restaurants listed 19 comparable items often enough to publish a city median that Los Angeles did not. Los Angeles listed 13 that Tulsa did not. Those stay off the city-to-city table, because a median for a city that barely sells the item would be a fake number.

Common in Tulsa, not in the other city: Big Breakfast with Hotcakes, Egg Biscuit, Steak Egg Cheese Biscuit, Egg Cheese Biscuit, Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit, Water, 2 Fried Apple Pies, and Chocolate Chip Cookie.

Common in Los Angeles, not in the other city: Sugar Free Vanilla Latte, Hot Tea, Iced Sugar Free Vanilla Latte, Sugar Free Vanilla Cappuccino, Reduced Sugar Vanilla Latte, Reduced SUGAR VANILLA CAPPUCCINO, Iced Reduced Sugar Vanilla Latte, and Strawberry & Crème Pie.

How to read this

Each price is the median pickup quote at the restaurants we priced in that city, not one celebrity store and not a mean pulled by an airport. Tax is not included. A gap of a few cents on one sandwich is noise; 171 overlapping items pointing the same way is a difference between the two cities.
