How to read this: rows marked “estimate” are national medians multiplied by the area's BEA regional price parity (100 = US average). That index measures overall consumer prices, not vet prices, so treat estimates as a rough guide.
Local medians are the middle of prices published by practices within roughly 15–40 miles of El Paso (PawsRx's “area”), counting each practice once; low-cost and nonprofit clinics are excluded. A median from only 3–5 practices can swing a lot.
