There is a standard method. It is called Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) or in case it is for region it is sometimes called Regional Price Parity (RPP).

I found [this dataset](https://www.numbeo.com/quality-of-life/region_rankings.jsp?title=2021&displayColumn=1®ion=019) that has purchasing power index for some cities, but only largest cities are included.
