What a Hash Brown costs across America
Priced at 3480 Taco Bell restaurants in 46 states on the same day. The middle 80% of them charge between $1.59 and $1.99, a spread of 25%.
It is on the menu at 3480 of the 7757 restaurants sampled, so it is not carried everywhere.
Each bar is the number of restaurants charging that price, and the gold bar holds the median. The last gathers everything at that price and above, so one distant outlier cannot flatten the rest.
Point at a bar, or tab to it, for the count and the share of restaurants at that price.
The cheapest Hash Brown in the sample is $1.00 in Hereford, TX, and the most expensive is $2.99 in Oakland, CA. Both are single restaurants, which is why the headline above uses the middle 80% instead.
