Is the cost of living in Isafjordur high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Isafjordur, they wrote:

"The cost of living in Isafjordur is considered to be relatively high, similar to the rest of the country. Housing and rental prices are quite expensive, especially for larger or more modern properties. Utilities such as electricity, heating, and internet are also costly, as are groceries and dining out. Transportation costs can add up, particularly if owning a car, due to high fuel prices. However, public transportation is limited, making a car almost a necessity. Healthcare is generally of high quality but can be expensive for non-residents. Overall, while salaries in Isafjordur are often higher than average to compensate, the high cost of living can still be a challenge for many residents and newcomers," wrote a person living in Isafjordur.
