Anyone who has gone to the grocery store in the last year has almost certainly noted the stratospheric increase in the price of eggs. The rollercoaster rise (and very, very recent fall) of egg prices has been a topic of social and political conversation for months, and it was even a contentious debate subject in the 2024 presidential election.

As Newsweek has reported, the average cost for a dozen eggs in America was $5.81 at the beginning of 2025, rose to $7.52 by the end of January before peaking at a shocking $8.17 on March 3.
Recently, egg prices have leveled off, back to $7.22 on March 6 and all the way down to $4.90 by March 13.
That is close to what prices were a year ago at this time: $4.38, per Axios. Of course, some states are still paying well over that.
GOBankingRates recently analyzed data from World Population Review to compare how much each state is currently paying for a dozen eggs.
As the prices of eggs continue to rise and fall, how much is your state paying for eggs compared to the national average?
