I think that the question is not as cut and dry as you may think (or maybe I'm overthinking it - IDK). Assuming you're asking because you're thinking about relocating, the salary, relative to what one would make in Metro NY, is irrelevant. If you're just looking for S&G, then that's one thing.
If you're thinking of relocating, I think that the best bet would be to "back into" the salary you would require and see if the jobs pay that here. Look at things like housing, transportation, taxes, etc and find the equivalent salary for you to maintain your lifestyle.
I think people have a tendency to over-generalize things, than to compare apples-to-apples.
