If taxes, utilities, wages are lower here... then why are groceries higher.
Are there some monopolistic forces at play or is it simply economy of scale?
A reply from someone with real knowledge would be appreciated.
Long ago someone said the area is monopolistically controlled, but I forget the details.

Pricing on everything, including groceries, is based on whatever the market can bear. Average income in Villages is above most communities it’s size so it can bear more. Only competition and desire for market share impacts that.
