McDonald's Prices in Georgia vs New York

A typical Big Mac® in Georgia is $5.89; in New York it is $6.99. Those are state medians across 403 restaurants and 545 restaurants, not two restaurants. Same chain, two state medians, pickup prices from McDonald's own ordering system.

This page is the state, not a city and not a store. Georgia is the median across 403 priced restaurants; New York is the median across 545. About half of a chain’s price spread lives inside one state, so a Georgia-vs-New York number is the middle of two wide ranges, not a promise about the restaurant on your corner.

City or Store mode is the right tool for a restaurant on your corner, or for whether Austin is cheaper than Dallas. This page answers the coarser argument people actually have: is Georgia McDonald's cheaper than New York McDonald's, typically?

How to read this

Each price is the median pickup quote at the restaurants we priced in that state, not one city and not one store. Tax is not included. A gap of a few cents on one sandwich is noise; 172 overlapping items pointing the same way is a difference between the two states.

Compare a different pair of states with the picker at the top, or drop to City or Store mode when the argument is about a town or a specific McDonald's, not the whole state. The price map colours every restaurant we have.
