Almost to the penny. That said, the median income in Athens is next to nothing, but the housing market is dirt cheap, too.

Truth be told, it's actually a fantastic place to live, I just missed living in the city.

Eh, that's reasonable from Athens, GA (I spent ten years in Atlanta, and have some familiarity with the market in GA). Moving from Atlanta to Seattle doubled my total comp (and definitely did NOT double my CoL). Staying in Seattle and moving from one giant tech company to another doubled it again, so another part of it comes down to who's really willing to pay for talent.
